Cineworld is reportedly set to close around 25 UK cinemas and axe hundreds of jobs under a new plan to save the ailing screen chain. 

The cinema operator will publish details of a restructuring plan on Friday that will result in the site closures across the UK.  

Sources said around half a dozen Cineworld cinemas would begin a closure process immediately and shut for good this summer, according to Sky News. 

The company has been in preliminary talks with large commercial landlords, including Landsec and Legal & General, about the restructuring plans.
