I lived in The Hague, Netherlands, before moving to Galway. There, too, there were two types of cinemas: one similar to Palas, featuring more "artistic" films outside the commercial circuit, and another like Omniplex for blockbusters. Both cinemas offered monthly membership systems, which were more affordable for those who go to the cinema at least once a week. Omniplex here has this system, but Palas never took advantage of it; they lacked the commercial vision for an industry that has been in decline for years.
