The $2bn cinema industry is certainly one of the strongest sectors across United Kingdom

The movie theatre industry is one of the biggest in the UK, with an average growth rate of 3.3% in the last 5 years (i.e. 2015-2020). In fact, The market size of the Cinemas industry in the UK increased faster than the economy overall. Although bigger cinema chains such as Cineworld, ODEON, Vue & Natl Amusements (UK) still dominate the circuits, there are hundreds of other local, independent cinemas serving the diverse movie-going population even in the remotest regions.
