Media: Talk of the Trade - Movie boom
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Figures show that average weekly cinema admissions in the first quarter of this year were up 11 per cent on 1992, giving the industry the best start to the year since the Seventies. Nearly 28 million people went to the cinema in the first three months. According to the Cinema Advertising Association, which did the research, the boom will continue, with Forever Young, Sommersby and The Jungle Book playing to packed houses - and not an 18 certificate among them.
