Almost 130 Cineworld cinemas are at risk of closing down across the UK and Ireland, as the chain fell into administration.

Last year the firm filed for bankruptcy in America, following struggles after Covid. 

On Friday, February 24 the chain said it had been approached by potential suitors interested in a takeover.

However, none of them were reportedly willing to pay in cash for the company.

On Friday, Cineworld said: “The company has now received non-binding proposals from a number of potential transaction counterparties for some or all of the group’s business. None of these proposals involves an all-cash bid for the entire business.

“The company is reviewing such proposals in conjunction with its advisers and key stakeholders and, whilst no decision has been made as to whether to pursue a sale transaction, and the terms of any such transaction remain uncertain, based on the proposals received to date, it is not expected that any sale transaction will provide any recovery for the holders of the company’s equity interests."
