Apollo To Re-open After Blaze

The curtain is set to rise in a Leamington cinema two months after it was heavily damaged by arsonists.

More than £250,000 damage was caused by the blaze on 17 April after a fire was started in the lobby area.

Since then the cinema in Dormer Place has been closed for repairs and it will re-open on 23 June.

The re-fitted cinema, which was devastated by the Easter floods in 1998, will have a new café-bar called Trailers, a sound system and a new reception area.

General Manager Gary Stevens said:

“Whilst the fire was a very unfortunate occurrence, we are glad to put the matter behind us and concentrate on offering the best we can for movie-goers in the area.

“We have created a superb venue and one that I know film fans will enjoy.”

Films that will go on show when the 7000-seater cinema re-opens include Martin Lawrence in Big Momma’s House and war film U-571.

The long-awaited Chicken Run by the creators of Wallace and Gromit will start screening on 30 June, and Tom Cruise will star in Mission Impossible 2 from 7 July.
