Summary
Cinema admissions across Europe fell 4.4% to 873.2 million in 2025, while box office revenues dropped 1.2% to €6.9 billion, according to a UNIC report. The decline was attributed to an uneven slate of US studio releases and a shortage of strong local productions in some markets, though results varied significantly by territory.
