ABSTRACT

2017 and 2018 were two years of steady development for the European film market. In terms of global market share, the European film market continues to maintain stability. From 2017 to 2018, the total box office revenue and the total number of people watching movies increased slowly, mainly due to the success of some domestic films. However, the European film market still has a certain dependence on Hollywood international blockbusters, and this phenomenon continued in 2018. In 2018, most of the films that took the top spot at the box office in major European countries were Hollywood blockbuster films, and domestic production began to lose its momentum of substantial growth from 2017 onwards.
