Staff have previously revealed to the Express & Star that the venue at Newport Road would be closing at some point although no further information has been available as to whether it would be temporary or long-term.

Owners Curzon have also remained tight-lipped about the cinemas future.

But a spokesman confirmed the venue would be showing blockbuster release Star Wars The Last Jedi from Thursday but only until Sunday adding "there are no other showings from Monday for the rest of the week."

While the short-term future of the historic picture house remains uncertain the long-term prospects seem healthier with four cinema operators looking to take it.
