Full list of Cineworld sites closing forever after administration updates – and doors shut in days
THE exact date five Cineworld sites will shutter for good has been revealed.
Its sites across Glasgow Parkhead, Bedford, Loughborough, Yate and Swindon Regent Circus will close in just a matter of days.
However, Cineworld Hinckley will be saved after originally being marked for closure alongside the other five.
According to a report in The Mirror, the five sites will shut for good on these exact dates:
- Glasgow Parkhead (closing October 6)
- Bedford (closing October 6)
- Swindon Regent Circus (closing October 6)
- Loughborough (closing October 13)
- Yate (closing October 13)
Bosses at the troubled entertainment group announced the closures back in July, but the move needed to be approved by the courts first.

It forms part of a major restructuring plan to keep the company's head above water.
Just yesterday, a judge gave the go-ahead for £16million to be injected into Cineworld's four companies which form the business.
The cash came from the business's parent company, with an extra £35million to also be made available.
Its four companies. Cine-UK Ltd, Cineworld Cinemas Ltd, Cineworld Cinema Properties Ltd and Cineworld Estates Ltd, will also negotiate leases for each of their 101 sites across the UK.
A spokesperson for the chain told the outlet that the plan would enable the business for "the long-term and ensure a sustainable future for Cineworld in the UK.”
The Sun has approached Cineworld for comment.
However, news of the five closures has devasted locals in the affected areas.
One cinema-goer in Glasgow Parkhead, where Cineworld is set to close on October 6, described the move as "brutal".
While another said: "I’ve got so many childhood memories of Parkhead Cineworld! Such a major loss.".
