EXCLUSIVE: Following on from its agreement with Warner Bros, Cineworld has reached a deal with Universal on theatrical windows going forward.

We have confirmed that the No. 2 global exhibition circuit and Uni have set terms for both the U.S. and UK which mirror some other recent industry deals.At Regal in the U.S., Universal’s movies will have a 31-day theatrical exclusivity on titles that open above $50M, and a 17-day window for those which open under that threshold.

In the UK, Cineworld and Universal would be on a similar plan to the former’s deal with Warner Bros: ie: an exclusive theatrical window of 31 days prior to PVOD, and an extended window of 45 days for films that open to an agreed upon box office mark.Cineworld’s Regal chain
