International cinema trade body UNIC has published its preliminary estimates for 2022 box office and admissions across the territories that it covers. The figures show a significant recovery across all countries compared to the Covid lows of 2020 and 2021, even if most countries have yet to see a return to the cinema figures seen between 2017 and 2019. Overall admissions grew by at least 36.5% and total box office for the year is expected to exceed €5.6 billion, once figures are finalised, representing an increase of 55.6% in Europe compared with 2021.
