In “assembling final end-year performance data across such a wide range of European territories” for the first time, the report confirmed that cinema admissions across the region increased by 6%, reaching more than 1.26 billion visits. Total box-office revenue reached €8.8 billion (US$9.81 billion), a 12.5% growth over 2014, representing 24% of the global theatrical market.
