Why isn't film 'x' playing in my local cinema?
There are several reasons:
- The cinema chain does not have enough copies of the film to allow them to show the film in all their cinemas. If this is the case, the film may eventually be shown in your local cinema.
- The cinema will not make enough money from showing the film so may decide not to show it. They are a business after all!
- The film company/distributor decide to only show the film in a select number of cinemas (i.e. key cities).
