SkemNews received a number of messages relating to the Skelmersdale Concourse Cinema and claims of a change in ownership at the cinema. We contacted LCP and received the following statement in relation to the Concourse Cinema:
A spokesman for LCP, which manages the Concourse Shopping Centre, said “it had been informed by the operator that it had closed the cinema temporarily for the installation of high-speed internet, which is needed for the new projectors. Both screens have also been upgraded from stereo to full DOLBY.
“As these upgrades take place, the operator has told us it has renamed the venue Capitol Cinema in time for its reopening on Saturday, July 3, when it will show:
Tom And Jerry
Raya And The Last Dragon
Godzilla Vs Kong
“For details, search Capitol Cinema Skelmersdale on Facebook. Its new website is also live: thecapitolcinema.co.uk”
