Post-production theaters were typically outside the city centers and in the countryside.

They arranged the follow-up dates for film copies that had already been evaluated in the inner city cinemas. Since they mostly had a simpler equipment than the large premiere theaters and could offer a correspondingly low admission price, these cinemas were sometimes also called “push cinema”; So: the cinema around the corner, which you could just go to with your slippers on.

The decline of post-performance theaters took place in two phases: The first began with the first cinema crisis in 1958. This had several reasons: On the one hand, the German Heimatfilm , which was the main cause of the audience boom in the early 1950s, had passed its zenith. Second, television moved into more and more German households. The main reason, however, is likely to have been the increasing mobility of the population. Many people preferred to drive into the city and watch the films in larger cinemas immediately after the premiere. In the 1960s, many cinemas in rural areas, especially in the catchment areas of larger cities, had to close.

A second wave of post-game cinemas closed in the 1970s with the introduction of so-called box cinemas . Since many large inner city cinemas were divided into several small playback units, they were able to evaluate a film correspondingly longer in smaller and smaller cinemas - so they practically took care of the replay dates.

As porn or - as the stoppage for many neighborhood cinemas was no longer lucrative, these are either abandoned or on special forms of the cinema industry had cinema specialize.
