90-year-old UGC Normandie cinema in Paris' Champs-Elysees closed due to rent increase, reflecting decline of film hub.
UGC Normandie, a historic cinema in Paris' Champs-Elysees, closed after 90 years due to a rent increase, marking a decline in the area's status as a film hub. The area now hosts luxury fashion stores and tourist attractions. Two other cinemas, George V and Gaumont Marignan, closed since 2020. Despite the closures, Paris remains a top film-going destination with more cinemas per capita than anywhere else.
