In this programme, we discover that going to the cinema in the UK is not cheap: tickets often cost around ￡10 (100 yuan).
Yet statistics show that box office profits went up over 10% in 2009.
In China profits went up even more, some surveys say they increased by 40%.
Are 3D films going to be the future of cinema?
