Ir ao cinema: entendendo o processo de decisão dos frequentadores de cinema de Recife

Abstract

Cinema is one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, and it continues to grow. Since its popularization at the beginning of the 20th century, cinema has proved to be a cultural activity of great commercial value. Since its popularization in the early 20th century, cinema has proved to be a cultural activity of great commercial value, due, among other factors, to its easy reproduction, a convenience that has only increased with the digital age. But due to processes that began in Brazil in the 1960s, there was a concentration of cinemas in shopping malls, which can bring a certain convenience by combining spaces for socializing, leisure and consumption, but it also imposes limitations and acts as a segregating agent. This study aims to understand what leads consumers in Recife to choose which movie theater to go to, using questionnaires applied online via google forms and interviews applied in person at movie theaters in Recife, as a way of collecting data, and carrying out a bibliographic survey based on online repositories and personal collections.
