Select a range of 3 different films for each cinema. How many times is each film screened? how many films are being screened several times at the same cinema What does this mean for audiences?
In VUE Alice in Wonderland 3D is showing 6 times today, then I Love You Phillip Morris is showing four times, Shutter Island is being shown 5 times at VUE whereas at Cinema City Shutter Island is showing 3 times. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is also showing 3 times. The Scouting Book For Boys is showing 4 times today.

Identify the total number of films in relation to the total number of screenings.Of these, how many are being screened at more than one cinema at the same time?
At VUE its all a little random, they all show at different times and a variety of films in different screens, whereas at Cinema City they have 3 screens and are only showing 3 movies so once one is finished they just start it back up again in the same screen. This saves costs and causes less confusion.

Identify the % of Hollywood films vs. British films for each cinema that weekend.
At Cinema City they are showing one American film (Shutter Island), and one Swedish film that is subtitled (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), the last film is a British film. At VUE out of the 13 films 12 of them are American and one is British.

What conclusions can you draw about how different audiences are catered for in your local area?
I have concluded that the American market dominates the mainstream market and at independent there is a range of different movies from around the globe. And that independent cinema tries to be much more economical by showing the same movie in the same screen over and over all day.
