The cost of a cinema visit is the factor most likely to prevent people from a night at the cinema, good news for Cinema Society members who benefit from the best prices.

2024 has had a much-publicised lack of content in-cinema and that’s another big reason for not going.

Lastly, having busy lives seems to be an issue too with 32% of respondents unable to find time to visit.
