Overall the films being exhibited are more widely shown at Vue cinemas in comparison to Cinema City. Also in total the films being shown there are more films being screened at Vue than Cinema City. The reason that there are more of one film being screened in Vue cinemas than Cinema City is because one film has also another screening but in 3D and so in order to make extra money they must do more screenings of the film. Also the films that i've selected are all mainstream film and as a cinema industry, Vue is focused on screening mainstream films. On the other hand Cinema City is more focused on independent films and so these films are not as much of a priority.
