Will a cinema regenerate a town centre?
Yes and No
• Not all situations require the same solution
• Bigger is not necessarily better
• Cinemas do not create a location on their own
• Cinemas will help strengthen a good location but will often
fail in a poor location (e.g. Grants, Croydon & Vue
Birkenhead)
• Core research and understanding of the cinema going
potential for a market is essential

In Summary
Cinemas
• Are changing
• Boxes are out
• Can trigger regeneration with the right mass,
not on their own
• Can also solve issues with existing buildings
• Create social and cultural hubs
• Can be a multi media resource (conferences, live theatre, film
festivals etc.)
• The best is yet to come!
