Key Points

• Box office in Europe will reach €7.4bn in 2007, up from €5.7bn in 2002. This represents a growth rate of 29.8 per cent.
• Admissions in the European Union will hit 1bn in 2005, rising from 910m in 2002. The rise in box office revenues of 33 per cent is even higher than the growth rate of 20 per cent in admissions over the period, due to a cumulative rise in ticket prices over that period.
• The number of screens in Europe will rise from 29,067 in 2002 to 31,593 in 2007, of which 89.4 per cent will be in the European Union. While smaller territories still have significant room for screen growth, the overall European growth rate for screens will reach only 8.6 per cent between 2002 and 2007.
• Multiplex screens will play a key role in European screen growth over the next five years and there is still considerable room for growth in several European territories. In Denmark, an average of 30.2 per cent of screens are in multiplex sites and this is forecast to rise to 36.2 per cent by 2007. At the high end of the scale, 66.4 per cent of screens in the UK were housed in multiplex sites in 2002. The proportion of screens housed in multiplex sites in Eastern Europe is set to rise from 25 per cent in 2002 to 33.3 per cent in 2007.
• Exhibition concentration levels vary markedly across Europe. In UK, 64 per cent of screens are owned and operated by the leading five circuits. For France, the leading five circuits account for 34 per cent of the total screen base. In the Czech Republic, where multiplex exhibition is relatively new, the leading five circuits account for only 13 per cent of the overall screen count.
