BFI Southbank Cinema is an independent charity cinema located in London that has 4 screens and additional facilities like a library, exhibitions, shop, and food/drink. It shows a mix of films from major studios and independent distributors, primarily classics, which could limit its profitability due to small audiences across a limited number of screens. However, as a charity it aims to support causes rather than maximize profits, and generates additional revenue through its on-site bars, lounges and shop.

4. Implications
Because the cinema only has four screens and the fact
they mainly show classics could cause a decrease in the
overall profit made. Also because it is an independent
cinema it means that they can’t rely on the other
locations to keep them going. However they are a charity
based cinema meaning their not aiming on making profit
for themselves but for charity.
They have bars and lounges available which means that
they will gain some profit through that as well as the
shop as they could not only rely on the films they show as
there would be small audiences due to the limited
number of screens.
