The more mainstream Cinemas will attract kids between the ages of 11-22, this is usually the age range at which films are aimed at. This is because kids in this age range have money and are willing to go out and spend it and get a good experience. But independent films are aimed more at the older generations, this is because independent films make you think more and are more intellectually challenging, unlike mainstream films which hand everything to the viewer for easy watching.
The View and Odeon are huge cinemas. They both have at least 11 screens. This means more people can come in and watch different films at once. Independent cinemas however have less screens because less people come to watch independent films because they aren't as mainstream. Multiplex cinemas sell Popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, soft drinks and pickamix. Independent cinemas sell small packets of sweets and beverages, this is because they don't need to make money from food because they don't need to pay much back to the movie makers, unlike mainstream cinemas. The prices are also very diverse, the reason for this is because independ films don't cost as much to show as mainstream films. Independent films cost around £5 a ticket and mainstream films cost around £11 a ticket.
All the Mainstream Cinemas are showing the new Block Busters e.g. Dead pool, Triple 9, Grimsby, Star Wars and Zoo lander 2
Who would be the main audience for the independent cinemas? How do they compare with the big cinema chains? What are the prices like? What do they offer that the Odeon doesn't have? Think HOME in Manchester.
