(Essay Plan UN-FINISHED) What Factors led to the decline of town or city centre cinemas in the late 1970s and 1980s?

Intro
A combination of things led to the decline of town or city centre cinemas in late 1970s and early 1980s such as hollywood film industries building Multiplexes, the rise of teen audiences becoming more popular due to spectacle driven films, also Multiplexes being built in shopping centres with all these extra activities attached to the film experience and the technology of film VFX and the technology used in Multiplexes to view blockbusters. 

Social: Teen audiences becoming more popular in multiplexes because viewing films becomes a more social gathering as apposed to a "event", which in cases devalues films. 

Economical: The hollywood film industries that built the multiplexes, show the blockbusters that they made, therefor saving the hollywood film industries money because they don't have to pay money for distribution.

Technological: Blockbusters became progressively more popular because of the spectacle
