Answer 1

Answer:

Attendance at movie theaters declined in the 1950s due to the popularity of TV.

Explanation:

• The emergence of quality TV shows produced by different broadcasters fetched the attention of the majority population of the United States.

• Moreover, the movie theaters failed to dispense the comfort and convenience that watching TV while sitting at home offered.

• The shows that were broadcasted on the TV were light and comedy. Also, they did not even restrict the viewer to one place for long hours.

• These traits were preferred by the viewers and hence, the attendance at the movie theaters declined during the period.
