Observatorio Audiovisual Europeo. “Las películas europeas representaron un tercio de todas las entradas de cine en Europa en 2024”

In 2024, cinema attendance in Europe (Council of Europe member states excluding Azerbaijan) saw a slight contraction, declining by 1.7% year-on-year to reach 843 million admissions. This marks a plateau in recovery after the sharp rebound observed in 2023, when admissions had surged following pandemic-era lows. The EU27 recorded a steeper decline than wider Europe, with admissions falling by 2.5% to 642 million.

Despite this decrease in admissions, total box office revenues remained relatively stable due to slightly rising ticket prices and ongoing inflation. Cinemas across Europe generated EUR 6.66 billion in 2024, a marginal drop of 0.8% from EUR 6.72 billion in 2023. Within the EU27, revenues fell by 1.9% to EUR 4.99 billion.

Country-level results varied significantly across Europe in 2024. Fourteen markets recorded growth in admissions, with the most notable increases observed in Albania (+9.0%), Slovakia (+8.3%), and Lithuania (+5.6%). In contrast, the sharpest declines were seen in Cyprus (-19.9%), Luxembourg (-18.6%), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (-14.9%). Among major markets, Türkiye led with a 4.9% increase in admissions, followed by the United Kingdom (+2.4%), France (+0.6%) and Italy (+0.6%), while Germany (-5.8%) and Spain (-5.8%) saw a notable decline in their results.
