Cineworld Hinckley
Representatives of Cineworld will be in attendance.
Minutes:
The general manager of Cineworld in Hinckley and the Senior Regional Manager were in attendance to inform members of their community offer in Hinckley. During discussion, the background context around the significant public support that had been expressed for a cinema in the Crescent regeneration scheme was highlighted and the following points were noted:
· £1 children’s films would be available again this summer
· The cinema held screenings for people with autism and for parents with babies
· There were dementia group screenings
· “Secret screenings” were occasionally held, in which a mystery film was shown
· Covid and the resulting lack of new films and increase in use of streaming services had impacted the cinema industry since 2020.
Opportunities for closer working between the council and Cineworld to cross-promote events and share social media posts to reach new customers were discussed, along with working with local businesses to create deals for customers. It was also suggested that links be facilitated with the schools in Hinckley for children with special educational needs.
