The local 3 screen cinema (that is just around the corner) is gonna have to go down the independent/ cult route hopefully to survive (if they've got any sense), otherwise they are going to be totally screwed.  |
Know exactly what you mean, we had a cinema in Blackburn in a old building and had 3 screens and was the main cinema in Blackburn, remember going there as a young child, one year they expanded it and made it into a 5 cinema and showed main blockbuster on big screen while rest where on smaller screen..then they would move that film to smaller screen if still popular for the newest or latest film to be shown on big screen ..it was always packed and cheaply priced as well.
Around 15 year they built a multiplex vue cinema . can't remember exactly how many screens it got I think 14.. Few years later the cinema that's been there for over 50yrs closed and everyone wasn't happy about it i still went there and supported it like a lot of people did , guess they felt they couldn't compete , find big business are forcing small businesses out and to close... They have only one interest and that's money and so many places like these big complexes are soulless places with soulless people who work there and only doing there job to earn a living ..where other places did it because they loved their work and was warm friendly and welcoming. Then becomes to point they have the monopoly where only place for people to go and watch a film and charge ridiculous prices for everything.
