[en] Is the cinema-goer becoming an endangered species, more so than the Emperor penguin?
Shrinking audiences in cinema theatres constituted a global phenomenon in 2005 – in the
United States figures were down 8.7% compared with 2004, and the corresponding figures
elsewhere were -11.4% in the European Union, -21.7% in Brazil, -10.2% in Australia, and
-5.7% in Japan. On the other hand, audiences grew in South Korea (+5.8%), Russia and, very
probably, China. Such a drop in numbers on most of the world’s major markets is naturally
worrying, and not easy to analyse.
