隨著香港經濟的不景氣，影藝戲院於今日（20日）在其Facebook專頁上宣布，位於九龍城廣場的分店將於8月26日正式結業，這一消息引發了廣泛的關注與討論。影藝戲院的結業標誌著香港影視文化的一個縮影，也是本地多間戲院面臨結業潮的最新案例。根據資料，今年已經有六間戲院相繼關閉，包括歷史悠久的總統戲院、啟德嘉禾院線及旺角的Cinema City等。這些戲院的結束，不僅影響了影迷們的觀影選擇，也反映出香港影視市場的萎縮。 據報導，影藝戲院的九龍城分店原名九龍城戲院，自1993年開幕以來，經歷了多次的轉型與變革。儘管在2019年重新開業時受到不少影迷的期待，但隨著疫情影響與消費模式的改變，戲院的經營顯然面臨困難。票房數據顯示，2023年上半年香港的中西票房約為6.4億元，較去年同期的7.7億元下降逾17%。這一數據的驟降，無疑為香港的影視產業敲響了警鐘。 文體旅局長楊潤雄在回應影藝戲院結業的問題時指出，應該從更大的市場環境來看，而不僅僅是將焦點放在單一間戲院的結束。他提到，香港的影視業務正面臨著北上消費潮的影響，雖然這種影響未必直接，但在一定程度上改變了觀眾的觀影習慣和選擇。他表示，隨著越來越多的港人選擇北上觀影，香港的市場必須重新思考如何吸引觀眾。 影藝戲院的結業不僅是業務的終結，更是影視文化在香港發展的一個縮影。許多影迷在社交媒體上表達了對此的惋惜，認為這一變化影響的不僅是觀影的場所，更是他們的文化記憶。儘管行業專家認為影藝戲院的結業對整體市場的影響有限，但這一事件卻無疑讓人對香港未來的影視市場感到擔憂。 隨著戲院的減少，對於影視創作的支持也可能隨之減弱，這將進一步影響到本地創作者的發展機會。因此，如何在這種困境中尋找出路，將成為影視業者和政府未來需要共同面對的挑戰。影藝戲院的結業，或許只是香港影視業變革的開始，未來的市場格局仍需持續關注與探索。
