Iconic French cinema shuts as audiences plummet

One of France’s most iconic cinemas it to shut its doors for the month of August because so few people want to risk seeing movies on the big screen. Several cinema managers told AFP that the postponement of “Top Gun 2”, “Wonder Woman 1984” and Christopher Nolan’s spy drama “Tenet”, as well as the Disney big-budget family movie “Mulan”, had helped kill the buzz they were counting on to draw people back.
