Cineworld has sought to close 130 movie theaters in the US over the course of its ongoing bankruptcy in Texas, according to court filings.  

The company, which runs a number of Regal, Eastgate, and other theater locations, filed for Chapter 11 in September, and has since filed motions to exit the leases of "unprofitable, underperforming, or otherwise undesirable" theaters, according to a filing in March.
