During the Golden Ages of cinema 1930-60 there were 4 cinema screens, however there were more seats as they all went to see the same film. All the staff members had uniforms, it was a big occasion to go to the cinema unlike today. There are currently 10 cinema screens on Jersey, with all 10 being in Cineworld in the waterfront.
The number of screens in cinema have increased, but the seats have decreased. The market has become fragmented.
