In recent years, the Government has vigorously promoted the development of the film industry and the number of cinemas in Hong Kong has also increased
According to the information of the Hong Kong Theatres Chamber of Commerce (00459), the number of cinemas in Hong Kong increased by 27% from 45 in 2013 to 57 at the end of last month. Among them, 41 were in cinemas, accounting for 72%. The bank expects that the proportion of theaters located in shopping malls will continue to rise.
Lu Zhanhao, director of Midland Wangpu, said that the theater has a large space, and there are also requirements such as high floor height and low column
In addition, the high rent makes it difficult to withdraw funds. It is difficult for the theater to enter the market in the early years. Shopping mall owners prefer to make large shops. Small shops are rented, and there is no intention to give the shop a less rentable theater.
However, in recent years, the number of cinemas has been weakened and the number of cinemas in Hong Kong has been insufficient
The introduction of cinemas has helped to drive the crowds and retail businesses. I believe that the number of cinemas in Hong Kong will continue to increase in the next few years. The proportion of cinemas in shopping centres is also expected to rise.
