Abstract
Along with big budget movies, the multiplex is credited with saving cinema exhibition in the UK. In 1984 annual cinema admissions had fallen to an all time low of just 54 million. Since 1985 operators have invested huge sums in building multiplex cinemas and as a consequence admissions have soared to almost 140 million. This boom is forecast to continue with operators planning to open almost 600 new screens within the next few years, and admissions expected to increase to around 185 million by 2002. This case examines the reasons behind the spectacular decline in cinema admissions that have occurred between 1950 and 1984 and assesses the impact that multiplexes have had upon the UK cinema industry. It will also consider future prospects for the industry.
