History

The first cinema in the chain was the Curzon Cinema in Loughborough, which was established in 2001. Cinemas in other cities and towns were then added to the newly formed Curzon Leisure Group over the next few years. In 2005, the chain was renamed Reel Cinemas Ltd.[1]
In March 2020, all UK cinemas closed indefinitely due to a national lockdown in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
