Film Industry Questions:

Question 1:

In the UK film market, an increase in the number of screens available to show films has not led to an increase in the number of films being shown. Why?

The increase in number of screens available to show films has not led to an increase in number of films being shown because even though there are more screens available to show films there is a finite number of films people will see per year, the demand will not increase due to the supply of screens rising unless they provide something like an successful advertising campaign.  Another valid point is that there is such a large amount of films produced and the audience are not going to have the desire to see every single one, in fact, films outside the main Hollywood "blockbuster" that does not have the advertising or financial backing from of Hollywood are unlikely to attract the extra viewer, there are therefore a finite number of films that will bring an audience to the cinema.
