Independent Cinemas attract people who simply want to watch outstanding films and stories. As independent cinema is not focused on big stars or budgets it focuses solely on telling inspiring, often true, stories about incredible people. This is what attracts people to see independent films at local, authentic cinemas such as The Barn Cinema in Totnes, Darlington.
Price is crucial when it comes to people wanting to go watch a movie and it is the price of an adult ticket that differs dramatically between multiplex cinemas and independent cinemas.
For example:
Odeon Chelmsford: Adult Ticket- £8.75
The Rio, Burnham-On-Crouch: General Admission- £3.00
