Date set for return of cinema to Cornerhouse

Movie buffs do not have long to wait for the reopening of The Cornerhouse

The Cornerhouse in Nottingham will see the return of cinema screenings after a new operator took over its auditoriums.

In January Cineworld said it would leave the 14-screen Burton Street cinema as part of a UK-wide restructure of the business, in a decision the Cornerhouse said was "unfortunate".

Cinema chain Vue confirmed it was taking over following a temporary closure and refurbishment.

The new-look cinema, which includes VIP seating and new projection technology, will open its doors to movie buffs from 27 June.

Narinder Shergill, Vue UK & Ireland general manager, said: "We're so pleased that we've been able to keep providing visitors to The Cornerhouse, with somewhere to see the latest blockbusters, event cinema and classic favourites, and we look forward to opening our doors."
