Cinema

New films normally come out on Thursdays in Germany. This is the day the new cinema programme is issued. Which films are shown where is listed in the corresponding section of the local daily newspapers. Many cinemas have certain days of the week where the entrance fee is heavily reduced in comparison with the rest of the week. In some cities there is also a so-called "Communal Cinema" or a "Programme Cinema". These mostly screen low-budget, independent films, often in the original language with German subtitles.
