The cinema experience is unique because the size of the cinema screen is big and wherever you sit you can see perfectly, and you can always here the sound really well because of the surround sound.

Films are also ditributed not only in the cinema but also in DVD, TV broadcasting, internet downloads, sometimes mobile downloads. Sometimes, if the film is unsuccessful, the film goes straight to DVD even if it has not been released in the cinema.
