#22 In EuropeThe cinemas market has undergone a turbulent period over the past few years, primarily due to the pandemic. With cinemas forced to close, revenue tanked in 2020 and cinemas have struggled to recover. Admissions in the EU-27 and UK reached just 643 million in 2022, which is 34.5% below the pre-pandemic average. The diminished admission rates have impaired cinemas' chances of recovery from the pandemic. In the five years through 2024, European cinema revenue is projected to decline at a compound annual rate of 11% to €8.5 billion. The onset of the pandemic also challenged the exclusivity cinemas enjoyed, with film studios now choosing to release new films online sooner. This meant they kept all the revenue from downloads and subscriptions.
