The introduction of television in the US was a shock and a warning for Australian cinema owners. From 1956, Australians were no longer dependent on movies for their main entertainment - they could stay at home, without paying any money or having to dress up to see movies and news-reels, and also got sitcoms, nightly news and sports. The cinemas began to decline and the wrecker's ball was in full swing nationwide.

Overview
For most of the past one hundred years Australians have been going out to the pictures. Today, despite movies being delivered in multiple formats, more than half of us still go out to a cinema at least once a year. But there was a time when most people went every week, and it was by far the most important entertainment event in their lives.
