Screen Name Selection. The Cineworld Dublin cinema on Parnell Street in Dublin city centre had already been closed due to Government restrictions in the county but will nowgo into an indefinite closure along with all UK and many US based venues owned by the company.
The Cineworld closures will put up to 5, jobs at risk in the UK and Ireland. Cineworld has not given any further information on when its cinemas may reopen, however they could remain closed until Due to its size and IMAX screen it has frequently been a venue for film premieres and the Dublin International Film Festival , while films from Poland, India and other countries screened in the cinema frequently sell out and hold firm in the Irish box office rankings, as Dublin-based international film fans take the opportunity to reconnect with their local culture.
While its potentially permanent loss would be sad for the city, the priority concern is unquestionably the staff who have been left in limbo.
Film In Dublin spoke to a member of staff from the Dublin branch to receive their account of communications with the company over the last six months and their position following the confirmed closure. The staff member agreed to interview on condition of anonymity.
Film In Dublin: Can you outline firstly how Cineworld communicated with Dublin staff regarding the initial closure in March?
We were informed of this closure the day before by the on-site manager via our private Facebook staff page, which was no surprise to us since it had been rumoured the week prior. We were happy to comply with public safety recommendations but we were not informed about what would happen to our wages until April after the government announced the subsidy scheme.
Was there any communication from Cineworld when other Irish cinemas began to reopen in the summer? It was notable that Cineworld was did not initially reopen at that time, what was the staff reaction to the cinema remaining closed while others reopened? At the end of June, cinemas were allowed to reopen here in Ireland but we were informed that there was no chance we would be doing so before our counterparts in the US and UK since Cineworld were still devising plans and procedures to operate safely.
None of us wanted to return to being around thousands of customers each day but we also were not making enough money to get by. With these, it has certainly made its name in the local movie industry. Among all of its impressive achievements, history is one of the areas Cineworld has to improve on. After four years in the said post, however, he and his wife were able to raise capital to start their own cinema company. From the beginning, the goal of the Wieners were to start a business in the movie industry that they can then sell to a big operator later on.
They definitely know the way around, so the plan was feasible. The acquisition kicked off major growth in the company. The closures come as the release of the latest James Bond film was further delayed from November to spring , the PA news agency understands. The closure of its sites across Ireland and the UK will put up to 5, jobs at risk. Cineworld had reopened most of its cinemas in July when lockdown measures were eased in Ireland and UK. No Time To Die was originally scheduled for release in April , but was first pushed back to November as a result of the pandemic.
