Official France Box Office Thread

[zackzack]

This year the French market should decline over 2012, and 2012 declined over 2011..It's a declining trend and the economic crisis is devastating, you can't expect too much.

 

But moviegoing is still cheapest form of entertainment. 

Isn't it a fact that movie attendance actually goes up

when the economy is bad? Doesn't apply to France?

It went up heaps from 2008 to 2011, now it's falling back to more normal levels.

Average price take into account a lot of parameters and different categories of tickets. 

Standard ticket prices are 10-12 euros for 3D movies

I know it. I am just surprised that in Spain average ticket price is higher (about 7.2€). And 3D can cost 10-13€ too.

VAT is probably different l

VAT is probably different l

That is the main reason (in September it rised from 8% to 21%), but even with that, prices are quite similar with quite different salaries

Actually it is 7% on movie ticket and should increase to 10% by 2014
