WHY DO YOU THINK THE NUMBER OF CINEMA SCREENS HAVE DECLINED OVER THE YEARS? WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FIILM INDUSTRY IN GENERAL? A reduction in attendance at the cinema which was arguably caused by a rise in television viewers, lessened business for cinemas and resulted in a need for little screens.
