In the golden age of cinema there where 4 cinema screens in Jersey with over 3000 seats but only 4 screens where needed as the whole audience would all watch the same film at the exact same time together.

There are 10 official cinema screens in Jersey and all of them are at the Waterfront.

Currently in Jersey there are only Howard Davis Park, The Jersey Arts Center and the Grand Hotel that remain as independent cinema spaces.

The number of cinema screens have not declined and have gone up because the market has become more fragmented so more screens with less seats where needed.
