Original Story:
Regal Cinemas just reopened after an extended closure due to COVID-19 and now they may be closing again.
Cineworld, the parent company of Regal Cinemas says it’s considering closing all its movie theaters in Britain and the United States after the postponement of the new James Bond film left a big hole in schedules.
