This is a great thread idea.


But do you honestly expect Russia to surpass America as the biggest box office market in the world by 2025? America's population by then will be near 340m, and assuming a similar viewing percentage, and a conservative ticket price increase of 3% per annum, ticket prices will be at least $12, maybe $13 then. The US box office should be at $20B at least by then. Russia's market would have to increase by more than 21% a year every year without interruption to reach that figure.


I suspect that what will happen, instead, is that theatre going in general will give way to home viewing, as the home entertainment systems will acquire more and more of the features of cinema. I wouldn't be surprised if attendance figures in America actually declined due to changing cultural patterns. So basically, it will be useless to talk about which market is the biggest film market, as box office receipts will become less and less a significant determinant of that.

It's a challenging goal, but we will work hard to achive it. :lol: Don't forget that current population of CIS is already 278 million, and assuming that most of the countries will only grow and develop, it's not that unattainable.

That's why I said #1 movie market by 2030 :funny: It basically includes all cinematic experiences.

It is definitely the biggest grower and will very soon become the second biggest. But as for passing the US.....I'm not sure...a possibility but it still has a lot of work to do to get there.

We are talking about how much all films in a given territory make for the annual year, right?

Correct, in that order?

Not sure about the order...perhaps UK is second followed by Japan/Germany?

Isn't Germany bigger than France?

I don't think Japan is behind the United Kingdom. It's the only market outside NA where a film has been able to gross over 200M. I could be wrong though. And all the Japanese films are said to be doing better and better each year, and for the first time in over 30 years, there are over 3000 theatres again. Though the decline in Hollywood films this decade is taking it's toll..

Im not sure about France and Germany. Whenever I look up some big film, that film always grosses about the exact same in both countries.

No, depending on what year, the UK and France pass Japan, which has been stagnant for over a decade now. Those three are usually between $1.5-2B. Probably over $2B now in the case of France and UK. No clue about Japan.

I'd say right now it's

North America
United Kingdom
Japan or France
Germany
South Korea
Australia or Russia/CIS

France is much bigger than South Korea; probably double, actually. Germany is considerably bigger too.

South Korea's box office in 2005 was $850m. It's definitely a huge market, but all the others are above $1B.

I would say that the UK is now bigger than Japan. Japan's box office, I think, is around $2B. I suspect the UK's is now bigger than that.

I think France might give them both a run for the title, though.


Interesting tidbit: Japan had 7,457 theatres in the 1960s before TV hit theatres big time. The number dove to 1,734 in 1993, but has increased considerably since to around 3,000 now, I think.

The UK probably does now since Hollywood films have been on the decline for several years (this is the reason several 900M+ grossers have failed to hit 1B. AWE and HP5 being two very recent examples). Though local films are on the rise, so it may balance itself out eventually.

Ok, I just took a look at BOM, and there's no way that the UK is at $2B for 2007. Closer to $1.5-1.6B. I suspect that Japan is safely ahead of it.


And France would be well behind with around $1.3B.


Does ANYONE have any actual data for 2007?

Japan's 2008 total should be very strong this year since Ponyo on a Cliff By the Sea is being released very soon. Tickets have been on sale for 3 months I read somewhere. And (I dont understand it), but the studio said after they aired the trailer, that if 100 people saw the trailer, 105 people would see the movie. And it certainly doesn't hurt that 1/6 of Japan's Population has seen Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle nearly hit 200M a few years back.

I wish I had a premier pass on showbizdata...then I wouldn't have to jump around each country.

They give these numbers (in millions):

2007
UK $1,755
Japan $1,720
South Korea $1,266
France $1,120
Germany $1,015
Mexico $867
Italy $840
Spain $830
Australia $767

2006
Japan $1,624
UK $1,619
Germany $1,150
France $1,114
South Korea $1,012
Spain $835
Mexico $777
Australia $698
Italy $612

2005
Japan $1,971
UK $1,636
France $1,029
Mexico $971
Germany $848
South Korea $845
Australia $644
Italy $603
Spain $452

I believe Russia should be #10 behind these. This year we'll probably jump a few lines up.

Yes, but France has already had their biggest film of all time. In the UK, don't forget the Quantom Solace/HP double-punch. Those films could rake in $200m combined, enough to offset gains made by Ponyo.

250M for Ponyo. :whistle:

Oh, thank you!!! That's massive for South Korea! I find France's number to be a bit disappointing.


They have a bigger attendance figure than Japan, though. It's just that tickets in Japan are so insanely high.

Well, it seems that the $1B+ markets don't really register consistent growth, so Russia should have no problem surpassing them in the next few years. Countries like South Korea and Italy are too small to catch up.


And China's and India's markets seem to be a mess :nerd:
