CINEMA TICKETS

Sales of cinema tickets in Denmark are down this year. That is partly due to the good weather of the past couple of months; but mainly because the films have been poor. Danish films in particular have not sold well.

Cinema visits have increased gradually since 2000, from just over 10 million to 13.6 million in 2013, or 2.4 visits per inhabitant. That's less than in the U.S., which had 3.8 visits per inhabitant. It is also a lot less than the record for a year of 56 million tickets; that was back in 1954.
