Cineworld

The first Cineworld Cinema was launched in 1996 at Stevenage by Cine-UK Ltd. Cine-UK Ltd was a privately owned company headed by Steve Wiener - a cinema exhibition expert with experience on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the following years an additional 34 cinemas were developed making it the fastest growing multiplex cinema chain in the country.  

In October 2004, a leading venture capital company - The Blackstone Group, bought Cine-UK Ltd and later that year, in December 2004, it also acquired the UK and Ireland operations of the French UGC chain of cinemas. The combined group now has 75 cinemas trading under the Cineworld brand  in the UK, Jersey and Ireland.

Cineworld Cinemas are committed to supporting film diversity ensuring that cinema-goers can see a broad range of films which include The Hollywood majors and independent productions, Bollywood, festival winners, foreign language films, and the best of British cinema.

The film range for each cinema is specially selected to make sure it has maximum appeal to that cinema's customers enabling them to access a wide range of films. Cineworld, has pioneered access to Bollywood films and is now the largest exhibitor of Bollywood in the UK. Cineworld works closely with producers and directors in Mumbai.
