terrestrial Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) GERMANY BOX OFFICE REVENUES 2007 : $1.04B 2009 : $1.36B 2010: $1.22B 2011 : $1.33B 2012 : $1.35B 2013 : $1.36B Germany is pretty interesting as a market because despite it is most populated (80m inhabitants) than France (66m) or the UK (64m) it's a smaller market, the third biggest in Europe.The market stagnated these last few years. Russia's revenues reached $1.34B in 2013 so it could pass Germany this year, nothing is sure yet but it was expected to happen. In European comparison the workers ... income didn't get raised in the same percentages as the European average. Some years there wasn't a raise... In relation to prices... the ~ buying-worth (Kaufwert term???) of a German worker average income is now ~ under the middle or the middle at best in a European comparison (forgot the details of a certain presentation) but prices of 'things' grew more than the income.... inflation doesn't always account for all things someone likes to spend her/his money on. Plus a lot of people I know prefer to invest in a nice home cinema system as the cinema visiting experience got less nice via younger viewers and so on. I think we are still one of the markets with a better than average market for Blu-Ray's and DVDs (but didn't check for a while) Edited August 21, 2014 by terrestrial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point and it could explain a part of the problem. I think demographics are a part too, Germany having the oldest population in Europe and less births than in the UK and France, and people under 40 are more likely to go in cinemas than people over 60....23% of Germany's population is older than 65, that explains that as well.

Fullbuster Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) SOUTH KOREA BOX OFFICE REVENUES 2007 : $1.09B 2009 : $0.88B 2010 : $1.04B 2011 : $1.11B 2012 : $1.31B 2013 : $1.42B This market grew by 30% in 6 years, and given its impressive size for a 50m country it's pretty good, it's already bigger than Germany and Russia.

Buying power = I think so, that sounds right. A lot of 'my' people and me are already a bit older (as in over 50 to 65), we still go to the cinemas, also our even older relatives. But not to all movies, as we want to see them without getting disturbed by mobiles... of younger ones and some other reasons At the pre-screening of GotG were a lot of older people too, only 3 non-adults (but to get the tickets, you have had to stay up till midnight to try - repeatedly, I needed a full week till I finally got ours), the biggest group was ~ 30 to 45, 2nd biggest group the over 45year olds, smallest beside the 3 non-adults the ~ 18 to 25y olds ... One of the bigger cinemas in a 'state capital' A lot of people go to the theaters... or prefer to spend the evening with friends trying out new vine or food places or... I think it's more about the younger ones, I work voluntarily with pupils since a time, a few of them (12 to 18y) never were in a cinema, others only if their parents take them as a family thing, or... They watch the movies on their pads, notebooks or whatever they prefer to use Edited August 21, 2014 by terrestrial 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess not everyone is reasonable... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 UNITED KINGDOM BOX OFFICE REVENUES 2007 : $1.64B 2009 : $1.48B 2010 : $1.53B 2011 : $1.67B 2012 : $1.74B 2013 : $1.69B The UK market has been relatively stagnant these last 6 years, however it's worth noticing the UK became the first European market in 2012 and remained it in 2013, passing France which kept that position for a very long time, not a mean feat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 The Expendables 3 got a release on 730 screens, a bit lower than TF4 but still a good number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 AUSTRALIA BOX OFFICE REVENUES 2007 : $0.75B 2009 : $0.86B 2010 : $1.04B 2011 : $1.13B 2012 : $1.17B 2013 : $1.06B Australia, unlike many developed nations, succeeded in making its market grow, growing by 41%, an impressive growth for a mature market, and an amazing size given it has 23 million inhabitants. The size of its market is very close Germany's ($1.36B - 80m inhabitants), South Korea's ($1.42B - 50m) and it's much bigger than Spain ($0.75B - 47m) and Italy ($0.8B - 61m). Congrats Australia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hernan Gonzalez Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think 2014 is not going to be a good year. Only China and Venezuela are showing a good increase so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think 2014 is not going to be a good year. Only China and Venezuela are showing a good increase so far 2014 will be weak indeed. Russia is relatively stagnant in $. France will grow but that won't change the trend of the recent years. Germany and UK won't change much. Brazil won't have an incredible growth but around 10% is pretty good if we take its weak economy into account. Next year should be very strong thanks to The Avengers 2 and Star Wars VII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 UNITED STATES / CANADA BOX OFFICE REVENUES 2006 : $9.2B 2007 : $9.66B 2008 : $9.63B 2009 : $10.6B 2010 : $10.6B 2011 : $10.2B 2012 : $10.8B 2013 : $10.9B The domestic box office added $1.7B to its total in 6 years, increasing by 18.5%. In 6 years the US/Canada market added the equivalent of a big OS market like the UK, that's pretty impressive and better than the average growth in the developed world, it's not the biggest movie market for nothing. 2014 will probably decrease over 2013 but 2015 should be huge and pass $11B thanks to the release of The Avengers 2 and Star Wars VII, and the possible performance of 50 Shades of Grey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
