A Quote by Ronnie Screwvala

People think that cartoons are meant to be watched on television and not in cinemas. To get people into cinemas to see animation really boils down to storytelling for the family.

Most Chinese filmmakers grew up watching television; they watched films on television, not in cinemas. The scope of their vision is not big enough, they're not yet detail-oriented enough. You have to watch films in cinemas for years to understand the depth and scope of vision needed in filmmaking. Directors in China usually come from an academic background; they graduate as film directors. Whereas the directors from Hong Kong learn their trade on sets, beginning at the lowest rung.

Gordon Chan

Foreign capital to build new cinemas will help modernize China's aging cinema infrastructure, attract Chinese consumers back into cinemas, and increase demand for U.S. films.

Jack Valenti

Cinema is haute couture or, if that's a little too ambitious, at least it should approach that standard. Pathe Plus is just part of the business. We have to improve all our cinemas. In France, we're not looking to open many more screens, but rather to raise the standards of our current cinemas.

Jerome Seydoux

I think the Norweigan model of municipalities owning cinemas and being programmed by people who know about films is a good one.

Ken Loach

How often do we get to go to the biggest cinemas in the world and see diverse actors make up the majority of the cast?

Mena Massoud

I think films would get a lot better if people paid leaving the cinema. There's a whole business plan of opening terrible films in hundreds of cinemas and then closing them when the word of mouth gets out.

Graham Linehan

I remember seeing 'The Bling Ring' in cinemas and loved it - it was so cool. And 'Marie Antoinette' - I watched that when I was, like, nine or something. I thought it was the best thing ever.

Angourie Rice

It could be why it's getting harder and harder to get people into the cinemas and multiplexes, because we're just seeing a world that doesn't reflect reality.

Rick Famuyiwa

For me, those little cinemas in Paris where I saw many art films for the first time meant that cinema became a kind of pilgrimage site.

Geoff Dyer

I just don't like cinemas very much. And when I do see a film it depresses me.

Steven Knight

I loved animation and cartoons, even when it was not cool when you were in high school. I raced home to see the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

John Lasseter

'Beyond The Pole's Facebook page has been incredibly instrumental in introducing us to new people and to making connections with journalists, cinemas everything.

Helen Baxendale

My films are doing well in Polish cinemas, so I don't really have problems financing them, and my international accolades are helpful.

Malgorzata Szumowska

The rise of video on demand will make it possible for small movies to earn back costs via $9.95 24-hour rentals and for people in cities without independent cinemas to see the kind of movies they never have before. That's great - but on the other hand, that's TV.

David Edelstein

I've always worked in cinemas or cafes to make money because it turns out freelance journalism is quite hard to get into.

Lauren Mayberry

After the Revolution in '49, all the films were propaganda. They serviced the government and carried the message that the government wants to relay to the people. But I think, in the last 10 years, because the film market is opening and there's an expansion of all the cinemas in China, it's now a lot like Hollywood productions.
