Cineworld and Odeon report strong results for weekend after loosening of Covid restrictions
Cinema owners have enjoyed a strong opening weekend in the UK, with the biggest box office takings since cinemas were first forced to close 14 months ago.
Cinema owners took an estimated £7m in ticket sales over the weekend, the best take since 6-8 March last year, led by Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway. The previous weekend high was the £6m taken by Tenet when it was released last August.
