Why did the 1980s see the decline of Fleapit cinemas and emergence of the Multiplex? Give reasons linking to the Production, Distribution & Exhibition of Blockbusters and their popularity.

In the 1980's they saw a major decline of Fleapit cinemas and the emergence of the multiplex because a lot more people enjoyed spending their time in a cinema, where you can waste the time before the film in either the food courts or the arcades. This made it far more enjoyable for the children and this brought many parents in to see films as well, spending more money, getting more profit on the films as children need parental guidance. Also the distribution of the films began to change as more multiplex cinemas emerged, as they cannot afford to send around roll after roll of film, instead they began to email and send their films via internet which was far more easier, however, this didn't happen until around the 1990's. They definitely contemplated on new ways in the 1980's on how they can send around the films and make it easier and far more efficient and cheaper. The exhibition side of the rise of multiplexes is where they have a certain amount of showcases, such as 12 show rooms which only show 6 movies.
