The Broadway Cinema, located in the Villa Marina complex in Douglas, has announced a significant reduction in its operating hours. The venue will now operate five days a week, specifically from Wednesday to Sunday, and will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

This decision comes as a response to shifting audience habits, which have noticeably changed since the COVID-19 pandemic. The management pointed out that the rise of streaming services has also put pressure on their business, affecting ticket sales and the overall bottom line.

In a post on social media, the Broadway Cinema expressed that these new hours are aimed at ensuring the venue's long-term sustainability. By cutting back on operating days, they hope to adapt to the current market conditions and continue providing entertainment for moviegoers.
