[KineJapan] Uplink Kichijoji

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

There’s was an article somewhere in the web (don’t remember where, apologies) reporting that in 2003 there were 131 mini theaters in Japan, a number that increased to 187 in 2015, 12 of which in Hyogo (the news was from Kobe). 

Good luck for The Big House !

Apparently, many theaters survived the year on a single blockbuster documentary. In this dark market, Uplink optimistically built a new 5-screen complex on the Chuo-Line.
