Cinema Film/Movie Scheduling

(My concerns come from a cultural inequality perspective but change could support the British/Independent film industry which the government talks a good game on. It's a market failure.)

I have recently moved to a small town which has a Vue Cinema and no other cinema without 30minutes drive. I like the Vue Cinema as it's simple and easy, but for some reason this Vue Cinema only appears to show half the films you'd find at a Vue in a city.

I asked at the cinema last night why this was and got a response that horror is the most popular in my town which is why we get lots of horror. But new releases like "A Real Pain", "Nickel Boys" and "Vermiglio" aren't getting a single showing which seems silly. It feels like a missed opportunity for them rather than 200 showings of "Dog Man".

Does anyone know if there is a way of contacting scheduling or have any suggestions to influence this? I've been to some of the horrors and nobody is there, I'm not sure how they've come to their conclusion. The town recently lost its ODEON so perhaps it has sleep walked into this missed opportunity.

Is it possible to have different A Level, different years?

We live in the UK. My daughter is in year 9 and is (native) fluent in French and German. I had a look at GCSE past papers and if she would attend GCSE French and German this year, she would be extremely likely to get a 9 (formerly A*). We are hesitating to have her attending those GCSEs this year.
However, if we do this, and if she gets 9 (as we expect), could she attend French and German A level in advance and attend at the same time the rest of her GCSE subjects?
Career wise, she is unsure about what she wants to do, but maybe medicine or IT. She is also strong in Maths (and she does some programming as well). So, the plan for her would be to attend: Math, Biology, Chemistry and Computer Science. But it would be a pity for her not to have French and German A level.
So is it possible to attend French and German A level in 2 years and Math, Biology, Chemistry and Computer Science at normal age, in 4 to 5 years?
Thank you.
