What do you usually do on weekends? It's really a good place for people to relax after a week's hard work. But do you know the history of movies and movie theaters?
At first, movies were all very short, sometimes only a few minutes or shorter. They were mainly about special activities and important things. Later, movies became longer. Movies had sound in the early 1930s and by the mid-1930s, some were in full colors.
lt opened on June 19,1905 in Pittsburgh, America. Turning from a little store, the theater had 96 seats and there were always many people at first.
Movie theaters have developed(发展)very fast. There are also many personal(私人的)movie theaters. People can watch any movies they like there. And some of the theaters even turn the seats into comfortable beds. Of course, the tickets to the personal movie theaters are usually more expensive. But some people think it is more fun to watch movies with others.
