Regal Owner Cineworld Reacts To Warner Bros HBO Max Seismic Shakeup; Believes Studio Will Seek Agreement On “Proper Window And Terms” When U.S. Cinemas Return
Cineworld Group, owner of Regal Cinemas in the U.S. and the world’s second largest exhibitor, has reacted to Warner Bros’ bombshell Thursday announcement that its entire 2021 film slate will debut on HBO Max day-and-date with cinemas domestically. In a statement, Cineworld said the company believes that when cinemas make a comeback, Warners “will look to reach an agreement about the proper window and terms that will work for both sides.” I understand Cineworld and WB are not yet in discussions.
