England has just taken its second cautious step out of lockdown with the reopening of pubs (for outdoor drinking) and non-essential retail. For many, last weekend's Spring weather marked the perfect opportunity to meet face-to-face with friends and family and enjoy a cold beer while basking in the sunshine.
The next step of the roadmap is scheduled for 17th May and with it the long-awaited reopening of England and Scotland's cinemas (Wales and Northern Ireland have yet to confirm dates). In a mark that there is industry-wide confidence that cinema-goers may return, a raft of studios have also announced dates for major film releases.
Here are the latest dates and where available, the trailers too.

Excitingly, original movie posters for the 2021 releases are starting to trickle through! You can see which ones we have available here.
We can't wait to settle back (safely) in to a big chair at our local cinema and lose ourselves for a couple hours. I imagine a lot of you feel the same way too.
