Film Distribution Companies in Europe

Film Distribution Companies in Europe provides a panorama of distribution companies currently operating in Europe and has a special focus: it concentrates on companies that are particularly active in distributing films falling into the category of 'non-national European films'. The report is made up of two principal sections. The first is an introductory chapter giving a brief overview of the distribution sector in Europe as a whole and examining the financial performance of the branch. The second chapter provides, country-by-country, individual profiles of distributors involved in the distribution of non-national European films. Each company profile includes three elements: a section providing general information on the company including its date of creation, ownership and editorial policy; a list of the most successful films distributed by the company since 2000, ranked by number of admissions; a financial profile of the company, drawn from a standardised analysis of company accounts. In addition some contextual information concerning each national market is given. This generally consists of distributor market shares by admissions and a ranking of distribution companies by operating revenue. Contact addresses and web site details are also provided for all the companies included in the report.
