Bargaining power of buyers When it comes to Cinemark Holdings Inc., the customer’s bargaining power varies. The customers bargaining power is determined by where the customer is located. If the customers live in a small city then the customers have a limited amount of options. This means that the customers bargaining power is low. For instance, if Cinemark is the only movie theatre in a particular area then the customers can only go to a Cinemark theatre to watch a movie, because Cinemark is there only option.
