Multi-plex ahoy!

The amount of investment involved in setting up and running a cinema is great. A small town centre cinema such as is talked about could only be run by an indie firm and would be more arthouse as would not have the clout to get some of the top films! I would welcome this anyway but wasn't this part of the reason why Hertford cinema closed originally! If we are going to have a cinema we are talking big company who will want to build a multi-plex on outskirts. If council grant that it will open the way up for all sorts of other out of town ventures. catch 22. ps D'oh! Didn't mean to start new thread sorry all!

Yes there was a cinema at the Castle Hall, Wednesdays, but there are so many more things booked in there you cannot get the space and there's no raked seating so that viewing on rather uncomfortable seats is bad. I say just build a new one, with plenty of parking space on the brownfield site by Hertford East, where the industrial estate is and just get on with it!!! Jeesh!

But who is expected to build it? I just can't see it being viewed as a commercially worth-while venture by any organisation with the money to invest.
