Why has "future" in the first line, "the" but in the last line hasn't "future" , "the"?

Why hasn't "cinema goers" in the last line, "the", please? Because I think it refers to the cinema goers in this town and it should has "the".


This news item is about something in the future.

CINEMA TO CLOSE

The Maxime Cinema is to close in November, it was announced yesterday. The

owner of the building, Mr Charles Peters, has sold it to a firm of builders, who are

going to build a block of old people's flats on the site. 'The cinema has become

uneconomic to run,' said Mr Peters. The last performance is on Saturday 17th

November, and after that the cinema will finally close its doors after sixty years in

business. 'This town won't be the same again,' said camera operator Bert Dudley,

who has worked at the cinema for eighteen years. Mr Dudley (67) is retiring when

the cinema closes. In future, cinema goers will have to travel ten miles to the

nearest cinema.
