There were four cinemas on Jersey between the years of 1930 and 1960. Those cinemas were New era, Forum, Wests and The Odeon. Majority of these buildings were either knocked down or remade into other shops and things like that. The only last standing Cinema is The Odeon. All of the cinemas had many seats.

Now there are 10 cinema screens in Jersey in Cineworld

There is about 5 independent cinema spaces across the island

There are less screens now due to the use of new technology and being able to watch films at home and so therefore there is less of a demand for cinema screens as majority of people can save the money and watch films at home.

In the 60s the coronation of the queen made locals want televisions to watch her coronation as it was being broadcasted rather than have to wait for it to come out at a later date.
