Meet the new firm coming to run the resort's Backlot cinema
Blackpool Gazette
|August 15, 2025
The new operators of Blackpool's Backlot Cinema are set to take over tomorrow - and have reassured customers that there will be no immediate changes.
-
The £21m multiplex, boasting an IMAX screen, will be run by The Arc Cinema, which takes over from John Sullivan who has been running the new facility since it opened on March 22, 2024.
Blackpool Council - the owner of the building - has brought about the change by seeking out a new tenant operator.
Arc is an experienced operator which runs cinemas across England and the Republic of Ireland and has an outlet in Preston.
The move has led to some concerns from regulars that the service they have been used to will change.
