New York (CNN Business) Cineworld Group, the owner of Regal Cinemas, said it is considering temporarily closing its theaters "but a final decision has not yet been reached." AMC AMC Regal is the second-largest cinema chain in the United States after, with more than 500 theaters. News of the possible shutdown came as a surprise to many Cineworld staff. Cinema Action Group, a collective of Cineworld employees in the UK, tweeted on Saturday, "there has been no consultation with staff whatsoever." Variety first reported that Cineworld could shutter all of its Regal Cinema venues in the United States, the UK and Ireland this week, citing people familiar with the matter.
