Cineworld Group plc was founded in 1995 and is now one of the leading cinema groups in Europe. Originally a private company, it re-registered as a public company in May 2006 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in May 2007. Currently, Cineworld Group plc is the only quoted UK cinema business.
In December 2012, the Group acquired the Picturehouse chain of cinemas consisting of 21 cinemas, and in February 2014, the combination with Cinema City completed, creating the second largest cinema business in Europe (by number of screens). The enlarged Group now has 217 sites and a total of 2,000 fully digital screens. Our portfolio includes four out of the ten highest grossing cinemas in the UK and Ireland. We pride ourselves on outstanding picture quality and atmospheric surround sound; the soft, deep-down comfort of our modern seating; the crunch of our popcorn; and, most importantly, the friendliest customer service around. All our sites are digital, and we are one of the market leaders in 3D, a format which will become increasingly important.
In 2014, Cineworld accounted for 82.9 million admissions, had revenues of £619.4 million and an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) before exceptional items of £126.6 million.

CINEWORLD GROUP MARKS NEW MILESTONE WITH 2,000 SCREENS



Cineworld Group plc, Europe's second biggest cinema chain, has reached the milestone of over 2,000 screens across its portfolio, with the opening of its 217th cinema in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK.



2015 has witnessed more openings than Cineworld Group has ever made in one year, with 19 new cinemas opened across four countries. This includes 11 cinemas in the UK, five in Romania, two in Poland and one in Israel.



Innovation remains at the heart of the Group's strategy - in January 2015, Cineworld launched the UK's first 4DX cinema at Milton Keynes. Overall, the group now operates 14 4DX screens across its territories.



Mooky Greidinger, Chief Executive Officer of Cineworld Group plc said:



"Passing the milestone of 2,000 screens is a fantastic achievement for Cineworld Group after a hugely successful year of new cinema openings. Our vision is to be the best place to watch a movie and I'm delighted that we have been able to bring this vision to more towns and cities across Europe. We remain committed not just to opening more screens, but also to ensuring we bring the latest innovations to our customers."

Proactive Investors - Investors will be keen to find out if Cineworld (LON:CINE) has felt the Force when the picture house chain also updates the market.

Analysts reckon the release of the latest instalment of the Star Wars series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will have helped the group to make up for weaker admissions between July and November.

The film has already grossed more than US$1.7bn in global box office takings but some say it is unlikely to surpass the US$2.78bn all-time global box office record achieved by Avatar.

Numis Securities, which is forecasting annual pre-tax profit of £95.1mln versus £75mln last time, said the blockbuster should help Cineworld to at least meet full-year expectations for 2015.

Numis analyst Douglas Jack said: “We expect subsequent trading to have been strong due to the very strong performance of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “
