Lights, camera, optimism: Moviegoers, observers believe cinemas can bounce back with some novel ideas

Several high-profile cinema closures have sparked discussion online about the future of cinemas in Singapore.

This was not helped by poor attendances after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The cost of ticket prices mixed with the affordability and convenience of streaming services are some key reasons for the lower patronage.

Moviegoers said that they want more value for their money for the price of a ticket. Others suggested that novel experiences and an extended variety of films may help draw people back to cinema halls.
