First named the Curzon West End, the acclaimed art house venue is one of eleven cinemas in the Curzon group. \u201cThose of us who want to save Curzon Soho from such a destructive and shameful fate need to fight for its wellbeing right now\u201d, states the Corzon Cinema group. The <a href=\"https:\/\/you.38degrees.org.uk\/petitions\/save-the-curzon-soho\">petition<\/a> that has been launched to save the cinema has already been signed by more than 32,000 moviegoers.
