CGV, a South Korean chain with branches across Asia, has rebranded its multiplexes as " cultureplexes" , offering music, gaming and dining alongside films.
To distinguish a night at the movies from a night with Netflix, cinemas built snazzy multiplexes with waiters ferrying burgers to viewers lolling in reclining seats.
Well, I've noticed in the last ten years, that the small cinemas in the cities have usually closed, and they're moving out of town to the big multiplexes.
To more recent times, in 2013, 22 year old Mangesh Bhogal, visited a multiplex along with his girlfriend in state of Vasai in India, to watch a Hindi comedy called Grand Masti.
The multiplex in our nearest town only showed the latest shoot'em ups or romantic comedies and was so infested with catcalling kids in hoodies that most people around the town rarely bothered.
