Are you a moviegoer? If, like me, you're a fan of film, then there's no better place to watch something than on the big screen at the cinema. You enter the dark auditorium and take your seat, ready to    1    (entertain). But while you engross yourself in some movie magic, now many others are     2    (get) their film fix at home.

Over the last few years, cinemas     3    (see) a resurgence. Customers have been enticed by comfortable seats, and lots of choice of things to watch. Multiplexes in particular can screen up to twenty films at the same time,     4    (cater) for all different tastes. In addition, 3D and even 4D movies can give the audience an extra immersive experience. So, what's not to like about a trip to the cinema?

One answer to that question is convenience. Rather than     5    (go)out, it's so much easier to stay in and    6    (watch) a romcom or action movie on a high-definition TV screen via a streaming service such as Netflix or Amazon Prime. There's plenty of choice, and it's relatively cheap as well. But, personally, I find there are too many distractions, and watching at home is not such an event. I miss the trailers too!

But the coronavirus pandemic    7    (put) the future of cinemas under the spotlight. Some have had to close because of reduced ticket sales. And in the UK, it's brought about a surge in TV watching and online streaming, according to media watchdog, Ofcom. It also found that half of UK adults will keep and continue    8     (use) their new streaming subscriptions.

This isn't great news for cinemas. They rely on the release of a big blockbuster to bring the crowds back, but the launch of new films, such as James Bond: No Time To Die,    9    (delay). And Disney has released its $200m blockbuster, Mulan, online instead of in movie theatres. But John Fithian, from the National Association of Theatre Owners, told Variety magazine: “This idea of waiting out the pandemic to make your movies more profitable     10    ( make) sense to me. There won't be as much of an industry left to play your movies in if you do that.”
