Budapest Film, owner of the Corvin, has created a development division to construct cineplexes in the Hungarian capital. Cinema analysts admit that with only 490 movie screens nation-wide, Hungary needs more and better cinemas. According to Vajna, strategically located multiplexes like the 'Corvin', situated near the center of Budapest, and the 'Hollywood', located at the Gyongyosi 'blue line' metro stop, should prosper. Other venues such as the Cineplex Odeon's Polus Centre theater, situated in Budapest's Ujpalota district, could suffer because it is not located along a major public-tranport link such as an underground station. Individual cinemplexes may fail, but the multiplex concept already appears to be a hit in Hungary.
Audiences are curious.
International developers are betting millions this curiousity will last indefinitely.
