Cineworld Group  is weighing a US listing to tap investors in the movie theater operator's biggest market as it tries to bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic. The company's shares jumped as much as 10pc.

London-listed Cineworld gets most of its profits from the U.S. since it acquired Regal Entertainment Group in 2018. Covid-19 lockdowns have been disastrous for the industry, shuttering hundreds of theaters and delaying blockbuster releases.

Cinemas are also threatened by studios bypassing the big screen to send some big-budget titles straight to their streaming platforms.
All that hasn't stopped shares in Cineworld rival AMC Entertainment Holdings surging in the past year after it became a so-called meme stock on Reddit and other platforms.
