Japan
Until it was overtaken by China in 2012, Japan was the second biggest cinema market in the world. Although hampered by high real estate costs, which mean cinema attendance is relatively low because of $15 average ticket prices, the market is hugely dynamic. Japanese film studios have taken a substantial market share from the Hollywood studios in the last decade and now command 66% of the market. Similarly, they have bought out foreign investors in exhibition like AMC, UCI, Virgin and Warner Bros, so that now every major Japanese cinema chain is owned by domestic companies.
This report tracks these changes, offering comprehensive statistics covering the market since 2000 plus forecasts for the next five years, with additional data covering exhibitor screen counts and market shares in film distribution. Also included is a listing of individual cinemas operated by the leading chains.
