publicatie: Focus Europe (UNIC)

De Union Internationale des Cinémas heeft vandaag de publicatie Focus Europe - growth, diversity and innovation - key trends in European cinema uitgebracht waarin belangrijke ontwikkelingen en statistieken m.b.t. de Europese filmsector worden samengebracht. Uit de Executive Summary:

"Cinema-going across 36 UNIC territories in 2015 represented a market of 770 million consumers, 35 languages, more than 1.26 billion cinema visits, and € 8.5 billion – or $ 9.2 billion – in box office returns. European cinema operators and their partners created value throughout the international film industry.

Underpinning this upward trajectory is a European cinema landscape in which operators face many challenges and opportunities.

In the next few years, industry consolidation is likely to increase, driving further efficiency and growth across UNIC territories. Alongside this trend, the continuing existence of a strong tier of highly successful independent operators and dynamic local film producers and distributors across many territories will continue to help ensure the resilience of the sector."
