Cineworld seeks to beat pandemic blues with Warner Bros deal

U.S. cinema chain Regal will reopen next month in time for big-budget release “Godzilla vs. Kong”, owner Cineworld said on Tuesday, as it set out a deal to show Warner Bros films before they are made available for home streaming from 2022. The world’s second-largest cinema group, whose reopening plans follow larger U.S. rival AMC’s, said the multi-year deal with Warner Bros would let it show the studio’s movies in U.S. cinemas with 45 days exclusivity, beginning next year.
