Mr Senior said Depot had to be"very busy to break even" and he did not want to show films to"a handful of people sitting there looking miserable".Image copyrightHowever, there are some cinemas keen to reopen in order to capitalise on two major summer releases. Micaela Tuckwell, general manager of the Ultimate Picture Palace in Oxford, said lockdown had had a"pretty catastrophic" impact.

Ms Tuckwell said she feared it may take up to 18 months to recover from the effects of lockdown and the pandemic and said she would need to attract about £50,000 in funding to see the venue through the tough times ahead.Cinemas say capacities would need to drop by about 75% to meet social distancing guidelines

"The short term picture is difficult but not catastrophic, but towards the end of the financial year we would start to reach the end of our reserves and start to be facing problems."
