Fact 244: Who created the first cinema for a paying audience?
The first cinema for a paying audience was opened in France in Paris in 1895, and the cinema was created by the Lumière brothers, Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas Lumière and Louis Jean Lumière.
The Lumière brothers not only created the first cinema for a paying audience the Lumière brothers used a machine\ device that they created and called a Cinématographe, the Cinématographe, which was a camera, a projector and a film printer all in one machine.
Interestingly Louis Lumiere said (probably in french), “The cinema is an invention without a future.” The brothers both thought that people would soon get bored or just stop watching films at the cinema, it will be interesting to see how long cinemas will last because of streaming platforms are becoming more popular.
I am doing this fact today about cinemas because I am actually going to the cinema to see the new Transformers film today (8th June 2023) and Harry Styles has a song called Cinema.
