The article discusses how the decline of cinema goers had caused George Florence, proprietor of The Astor, to sell. Florence believed that the decline in audience was due to loss of âbaby-boomer following, busy lifestyles, DVDs and elaborate home and theatre systems.â In addition, poor quality films affected the decline. This information provides another example in how poor quality films have negatively influenced the film industry. Another issue brought up is pirated films and how investments cannot come in if people can see films for free. The Astor had been in business since 1936 so this issue which occurred in 2005 reveals the crises in the film industry coming to light in the recent years. |
