Until the late nineties, Greenville had only one movie theater, Pop

Until the late nineties, Greenville had only one movie theater, Pop Cinema. When theater chain Big Movies opened a complex in Greenville, it was expected that Pop Cinema’s business would take a hit. Though both theaters played the same movies in the year since Big Movies opened, the average number of customers at Pop Cinema surprisingly increased. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain this paradox?



A.Most Greenville residents started going to the movies only after Big Movies opened up; on most days, Big Movies attracted more customers than it could seat
B.The weekend rush is higher at Pop Cinema than at Big Movies, because of the weekend promotional offers that Pop Cinema has initiated
C.The average profit per ticket sold is higher for Pop Cinema than for Big Movies
D.When they received news of Big Movies arrival in Greenville, Pop Cinema made plans to increase their advertising
E.Big Movies remains closed on Sunday evenings, and Greenville residents who wish to watch a movie on a Sunday must go to either Pop Cinema or to theaters in neighboring counties
