This article deals with the recent transformations regarding the exhibition of movies and their relationship with the usage and shape of the urban area of Mexico City. By exploring the nature of segregation patterns that have given shape to the present expansion of movie theatres, the author shows that the regaining of audience is restricted: although it is true that at the birth of the new century audiences can be considered multimedia (attending movie theaters, using video, as well as open and restricted TV), the exhibition of movies turns out to be more accessible to high- and middle-class populations as an experience of public sociability. Lower sectors have less opportunities to experience public entertainment and have to rely on open television and video as means of amusement.
