Is the Asian market as big as the European market yet?

Recommended Posts

What does "Hollywood movies" mean anyway? Not too much. Reliance is an indish company for example that owns 50% of Dreamworks. (Not DWA.) Which means stuff like Cowboys & Aliens, War Horse and so on have been "Bollywood" productions in a way.

That's getting way too specific about things. There's something Leonard Maltin says in, at least, his 1992 movie guide, "Should we consider every Universal film Japanese, now that Universal owned by a Japanese company?", or something like that.

Don't know. The creative team is something you just hire to deliver a specific result. But it's a tricky thing, I agree. Most Americans would say Toyota is a Japanese car despite the fact it was manufactured in the USA and even most money from the value chain remainded there and so on.

India can be a big market in the future.But China is where the real potential really lies. If that 20 film quota were to break then the skies the limit.

In case you didn't know, the quota has been upped to 34 Hollywood films with the recent Dreamworks/China deal.

India per capita (2.4 or something like that) is already on the same level or even better than Europe, so I wouldn't expect big things there.

It's not the admissions that are increasing so much but the avg. ticket price.A ticket right now costs around $2-2.5. It used to cost less than a dollar 5 years back and in 5 years it will be over $5. With small increases in admission, the total box office may very well triple in the next 5 years.

Yeah, attendance numbers haven't been going anywhere fast (at least on a micro level, overall attendance seems to be rising yearly) but ticket prices have really been soaring in the last few years.

I think admissions have gone down in Asia as well except for maybe China. I think the bigger ticket prices are why we're seeing such big OWs for Hollywood movies now.

China had 29,300m admissions in 1979, still 10,000m in 1992, hit a low 121m in 1998 and has been rising since then. The practical end of old comunism and the start of something new changed the game.Someone posted http://www.china.org.cn/learning_english/2011-04/15/content_22367160.htm with confusing numbers. Is there a second market in China with 2,250m admissions in rural provinces where tickets are very cheap?
