Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
I have a more cynical view where it’s the smaller ones that die and the market just turbo consolidates, and the remaining cinemas get even shittier since there will be always people who probably go to cinema no matter what
Though the possible advantage of that is the bargaining power of the cinemas increases compared to the distributors… as if cinemas should have some form of union ;-)
If enough of them die, then that particular market will need to correct. The movie industry needs consumers.
Or, to put it another way, the current business models need to die, so they can be replaced with better models.

Hmm. Yeah. That is exactly what would happen.
