Everyman has bought the two Tivoli cinemas in Bath and Cheltenham, five months after its owner Empire collapsed into administration.<\/p>\n

Everyman, which has 44 cinemas across the UK, will take over operation of the venues with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Alex Scrimgeour, chief executive of Everyman Media Group, said: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of these cinemas in the historic city of Bath and the vibrant town of Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

“We pride ourselves on providing an elevated cinema experience, making these venues a terrific addition to the Everyman portfolio.”<\/p>\n

Empire Cinemas was created in 2005 as a result of competition concerns caused by the mergers of Cineworld and UGC, and Odeon and UCI.<\/p>\n

But the 14-cinema group failed in July, with the loss of hundreds of jobs.<\/p>\n
