Abstract
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.
