Share of domestic films
A cinema programme generally contains films that belong to one of three
categories: domestic films, US films and films from the rest of the world.
In general, we might expect a high share of US films to enhance the popularity
and thus seat utilisation in a cinema. We have therefore defined two variables:
FD and FU. FD represents the percentage of domestic
films in the film programme, and FU represents the percentage of
US films.
Parking availability
Availability of parking adjacent to a cinema will enhance the popularity
of a cinema vis-à-vis cinemas without parking facilities.
We include two dummy variables:
PK1 | Availability of a reserved car park for cinema customers | |
PK2 | Availability of a free car park or a car park with preferential rates for cinema customers |
