No longer can one film please the whole entire family, nor can one location expect to meet their overheads from the proceeds of exhibiting one film. What is a multiplex? Why did it come about and how has it transformed? The mass market has broken into smaller units and the trend of housing multiple cinema screens under one roof, reflects this. Broadcasting helped color lose its fantasy and spectacle association. It's function was to signify artifice, decoration, the cinema as a storyteller. And when it first became technically feasible, color, it seems, did not display reality, but the opposite. If the nature of the audience is to seek more "reality" from film, explain why color was not nearly as popular as the addition of sound to film, why it was met with resistance and didn't become the norm until television began broadcasting shows in color Despite color being perceived as reality, it was never a question of what is real but what is accepted as real.
