The article called âHollywood and Televisionâ appeared 16th of November, 1950 in the local newspaper called âThe Courier: Collingwood and Fitzroyâ. The article discusses the situation of film industry in the world and also refers to the crisis of movie theatres in Collingwood and Fitzroy.
In 1950, the number of people who go to movie theatre to see movies decline dramatically as the number of television had increased around the time. Comparing to the golden age of film industry, only 30% to 45% of people went to movie theatre to see movies. The film industry considered that televisions was spread in many houses and replaced many of movie theatres, and therefore changed the strategy towards movies as it makes movies in order to be watched in television.
According to this article, as strength in doing research on cinemas in Collingwood and Fitzroy, it is possible to know the financial difficulties of movie theatres in Collingwood and Fitzroy including Merri Picture Theatre with the detailed description.
However, the information is mostly described globally not only about the situation of film industry in Collingwood and Fitzroy and therefore the article are useful in doing research on movie theatres in Collingwood and Fitzroy to small extent.
