People’s tastes change in favor of going to see more movies at cinemas with their friends and family members. b. National DVD-rental chains open a number of new stores in this market. c.

a. price falls, the demand curve moves inward

b. price falls, the demand curve moves inward

c, price rises, the demand curve moves outward
