It was understood there was a problem with the boiler that heats the entire premises and temperatures were too cold for customers to sit through films.

Customers who booked tickets in advance have been refunded their money.

Today (Tuesday January 6), a Cineworld spokesperson said: “We’re pleased to say we’re open again and can’t wait to welcome you back to Cineworld Milton Keynes. Following a temporary closure due to temperature issues, our screens are ready and we’re looking forward to seeing you.

"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused... Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
