The report - available both in print and online - provides an in-depth look at recent developments in Europe’s thriving cinema-going industry.
In 2017, total admissions across the region increased by 2.5 per cent on the previous year, complemented by an increase of 1.7 per cent in box office revenues - confirming the value of cinema-going and its important position within the global cinema industry.
The above figures reflect the significant and continuous investment made in the cinema “offer” in terms of innovation both in theatres themselves and audience engagement throughout the cinema-going experience, which is becoming ever-more tailored towards a multitude of preferences.
The report also details key developments across the legislative spectrum in the form of a number of public policy issues that affect cinema operators, whilst also setting out the association’s advocacy activities to ensure that cinemas remain at the heart of governmental and industry efforts towards further prosperity for the entire European film industry.
Many of the trends examined in the report will also be discussed during the week at CineEurope, its official convention and Europe’s premier gathering of cinema exhibition professionals from the region and beyond.
