European and Chinese 2005 Box Office
December 27th, 2005 by Andre Soares
The New York Times reports that the European box office has shrunk in 2005, especially in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. (On the other hand, the United Kingdom held its own, while Poland and Russia had major box-office revenue increases.) The Times article asserts that one chief reason for the decline was a lack of solid local offerings, even though, at least in Spain, that was not the case. (See Spanish box-office article.)
Meanwhile, China Broadcast reports that the Chinese box-office take skyrocketed to US$600m in 2005. (It’s not clear if the price of admissions had anything to do with the increase.)
