"We are aware that government will have a host of considerations when deciding on when to allow U.K. sites to re-open. We have no timeline on when that decision will be made," he said.last week, Tim Richards, founder and CEO of U.K.-based European cinema giant Vue, said that he had been eyeing June for a "soft opening" of his firm's sites.
