Cinema and TV SWEDEN Easy Cash By Georgia Swedish cinemas In Sweden we have many cinemas. It is a popular place to hang out at on the weekends. We like to go there with our boyfriend or girlfriend, or with our friends or family, especially on the autumn and winter when it is really cold in Sweden. The temperature use to be around -15°C during the winter. On the autumn many movies have their premieres, it is fun to go and watch them. Sadly it is really expensive to buy candy and popcorn at the cinema and it costs around one hundred Swedish crowns just to watch a movie. So it is quite expensive. Here in Uddevalla we have a really small cinema comparing to Gothenburg or Stockholm. The cinema in Uddevalla is called “Saga”. There are only three saloons in “Saga” and the saloons have only a few seats, comparing to the biggest cinema in Gothenburg with fourteen saloons with a lot of seats.
