Different clothing standards apply to different places. Also, most movies and malls are air conditioned, which would make bikinis uncomfortable. Generally speaking, bathing suits (or in Great Britain, bathing costumes) are considered appropriate at places where people are swimming: beaches and pools and their environs. If you wear your bikini into a store on the boardwalk at the beach, no one will look twice. If you wear your bikini into the department store at the mall, you will look out of place and people will stare. They would also stare if you wore a ballgown or a prison jumpsuit. That's just the way it is.

Bikinis is swim ware, though not much of a swimming suit but still considered to be such. The mall and movies and any where else is not the appropriate place to wear it. I think we get away with looking to sloppy as it is in T-shirts and jeans, or shorts.

Most (not all, but most) women probably would not be comfortable walking around an air conditioned mall or theater in a bikini.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Chilly!

It's just not appropriate attire for those areas other than the pool or the beach.

There are enough weirdos trying to grope women in public places
