Cinemagoing Western Europe

This report looks at the latest developments in the mature Western European cinema market, finding grounds for optimism in the acceleration in deployment of digital projection technology and an upcoming wave of 3D movies. A period of consolidation has left many exhibitors in a strengthened position, and a few are embarking on expansion and building attractive new cinemas. Problems remain, however, with the prospect of recession threatening to force crises in the most overscreened markets. Another bout of consolidation cannot be ruled out.

Like other Dodona Research reports, it is accompanied by additional databases listing cinemas in the region and reproducing our internal models of cashflows through the exhibition industry of each country.
