This has prompted posts on social media questioning if the cinema chain's Ripon site will ever reopen.
The situation is further confused by apparently conflicting articles in national trade media.
An article in RadioTimes.com dated 4 May, said:
Ripon was not mentioned in that story and there was no reference to Ripon by name in an article published on Monday in screendaily.com .
Its 17 May story included the following:
That adds up to a total of 13 but there are only 12 Curzon cinemas listed on the company's website and Ripon isn't among them.
The Stray Ferret sought clarification from Curzon and received a brief response saying:
The London-headquartered cinema chain opened in North Street in November 2013.
It followed a £2m refurbishment project, involving the creation of two cinema screens, a restaurant, bar and a private VIP area.
The building also incorporates nine flats.
Cinemas were able to reopen across the UK on Monday and Curzon's three-screen theatre in Knutsford, Cheshire opened on that day for film and food.
It is one of the 12 UK venues currently featured on the company's website - six of which are in London.
Other locations are Canterbury, Colchester, Oxford, Richmond and Sheffield.
