CINEWORLD in Weymouth is among hundreds of cinemas across the country which could be at risk of closure.
Cineworld is set to announce cinema site closures and hundreds of job losses as part of a restructuring plan on Friday (July 26) reports have claimed.
Earlier in the month the cinema chain was reportedly drawing up plans to exit dozens of its roughly 100 sites.
The company has been in preliminary talks with some of Britain's biggest commercial landlords, including Landsec and Legal & General, about the plans.
Additionally, rent reductions are being sought at 50 of its sites and 25 would be unaffected.
The precise number of job losses was unclear on Thursday (July 25), although one source said it would be "at least in the hundreds".
Cineworld on New Bond Street is one of the cinemas named as being at risk of closure.
It is the only cinema in Weymouth and one of only four in Dorset, not including the BCP area.
