Cinema attendance during crises is there a relationship between cinema attendance and the state of the economy in France in the period 1992-2012?

Resumo

The present study had the objective of testing whether the state of the economy had an impact on cinema-going habits in France in the contemporary period (1992 – 2012). More specifically, the study attempted to study the relationship between cinema attendance and the state of the economy at an aggregate level, and then to study if various types of movies, segments of venues and categories of movie-goers were more or less affected by the state of the economy. At an aggregate level, similar studies had already been performed in other countries. This study confirms their results for France: like in other developed countries, the state of the economy has little influence on cinema attendance and the sector is resilient. This work also brings new detailed analysis on the behavior of various sub-types of movies, segments of venues and categories of consumers. It demonstrates that for most of these sub-categories, drivers of the market are rather supply and price, and that the state of the economy has low influence. Regarding venues, this study argues that large cinemas are more able to drive growth during crisis periods than other cinemas.
