Movie ticket sales across the whole of Europe hit an estimated record 1.29 billion in 2017, according to data released Thursday by the European Audiovisual Observatory. Figures for the 28-nation European Union showed a slight drop, but remained strong when seen in historical context.
The European Audiovisual Observatory, an agency that collates official information on the audiovisual industry across Europe, said 985 million tickets were sold across the 28 E.U. member states last year. Although this was 6.6 million fewer admissions than in 2016, a decline of 0.7%, the overall number still remained the second-highest recorded in the E.U. since 2004. The agency’s report said that the 2017 results “confirm the regained strength of the European theatrical market, which had been declining from 2010 up until 2014.”
The report, released just before the official opening of the Berlin Film Festival, said the marginal decline in total E.U. admissions could largely be attributed to a major drop in Italy and a comparatively poor year-on-year performance in France...
