The takeover would have created North America's largest chain of movie theatres to better compete with Odeon owner AMC Entertainment. On Friday, Cineworld is set to file its latest set of quarterly results and reveal the full impact of months of theatre closures. Last week, a report by rating agency Moody's warned Cineworld and other chains could struggle even after reopening as Britons spend more time at home. "Attendance will likely remain low at least for a few months due to social-distancing measures or moviegoers' health concerns," Moody's vice-president and senior credit officer Gunjan Dixit said.
