Have you ever noticed that when you go to see the film in the cinema hall, there is a sigh of stir, crowd and Raunak at the entry gate. But as soon as the film ends and you get out, there is a complete silence and deserted atmosphere while coming out of the exit gate.

It must have come to everyone’s mind at some time or the other’s why this happens. Why the entry gate of the cinema hall is so attractive and full of beauty, while the exit gate does not show the light nor the crowd. Actually, interesting reasons behind this are hidden, which are connected from security to business strategy. Let’s know in detail

Why is the exit gate of cinema hall deserted?

The biggest reason for safety

Security is first taken into consideration when designing the cinema hall. During the film, if there is an accident or emergency such as fire, quarrel or earthquake, then people should not get trapped at the same door. Therefore, the exit gate is always kept separate and deserted so that people can get out directly in any emergency. This is the reason why there is less crowd and calm atmosphere.

Business trick is also amazing

You must have noticed that popcorn, snacks and cold drink counters are installed near the entry gate in most cinema halls. This is done intentionally so that people are forced to shop while entering. At the same time, the exit gate is made deserted and straight out to go out so that after the film is over, people get out without stopping and the crowd does not increase much. That is, the exit gate is kept silent so that the entire focus will remain at the entry gate itself.

Psychology and experience game

The real magic of the film lasts only when you are sitting inside the cinema hall. As soon as he gets out, that magical atmosphere ends. For this reason, the exit gate is deliberately kept simple and without any attraction so that people get out directly. Actually, it is the strategy of cinema hall management that the experience of the film in your memories is just inside, everyone looks normal as soon as it comes out.
