Covering four of the five major European territories, including the fast growing markets of Southern Europe, Cinemagoing Western Europe gets to the core of the European cinema business.

Far from converging, the different national markets covered by the report are becoming less alike: as the continent's largest market, Germany, refuses to grow and its most dirigiste, France, refuses to change, the three southern markets of Spain, Italy and Portugal continue to forge ahead, raising the contrary question: is their growth sustainable? With the introduction this year of more company financial information, Cinemagoing Western Europe addresses this and other issues, finding an industry whose pecking order is likely to change materially over the next five years.

Cinemagoing Western Europe covers seven markets in Europe: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland
