Picturehouse Cinemas
A previous iteration of this distribution arm, which focused largely on alternative content, was sold in 2017 to Howard Panter and Rosemary Squire and rebranded as Trafalgar Releasing.A second closure took place from 9 October 2020 until 17 May 2021, due to an insufficient amount of new film releases and a second wave of the pandemic closing indoor venues.[39] Strikes continued into 2018, when workplace reps were found to be unfairly dismissed and were instructed to be reinstated,[40] meanwhile Picturehouse claimed that they were one of the highest paying employers in the UK cinema industry.[41] In 2019, following a membership vote, the Staff Forum (run by Picturehouse management) was dissolved and later removed by the Certification Officer from the official list of trade unions.We won't rest until Ritzy and Picturehouse follows suit with other cinema employers we have successfully worked with and treats all its workers fairly.
