Roger Wyllie: Capitol Cinema co-owner on movie theatres taking a revenue hit

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

There's hopes poor financial results don't spell the final act for cinemas.  Revenue dropped for all the Hoyts, Reading and Event Cinemas chains in 2024.  Auckland's Capitol Cinema co-owner Roger Wyllie says the combination of Covid and the Hollywood writer's strike brought tough times. He says there are good movies out there - but interest is low.   "We've probably done 40 percent on pre-Covid with people coming through the door."
