How the cineplex change the in film distributions

The cineplex rose around the same time as the films known as "blockbusters". (Being films that had budgets of millions of pounds put in to the and garnered to get the money back). The main way the cineplex effected the distribution of films is because people thought with the massive cineplex with there 15 plus screens people would get a choice of 15 films, but in reality this isn't what happened. What really happens was that the success of the cineplex's forced all the little independent cinemas started to shut down, as the cineplex's only showed the most popular films on a staggered time table, which were mainly the blockbusters so this brought the independent film distribution down. Another thing that canted the film distribution industry was the rise of the VHS so it was cheaper for people to rent the films and watch them from home than pay out to go see them at the cinema, this almost killed the industry at one point, also video piracy also increased at the time of the rise of the cineplex, so people were also buying the fake videos instead of going to see them at the cinema.
