Australia ninth biggest cinema market
Australia is the ninth biggest cinema market internationally, new numbers published by the The Motion Picture Association of America suggest.
Australian box office was responsible for $1.2bn of the $34.7 billion made by the industry last year.
Australia was just behind Germany ($1.3bn), South Korea ($1.3bn) and Russia ($1.2bn) and ahead of Brazil ($0.8bn). Australia has one of the world’s highest admissions per capita.
The global figures show a 6 per cent growth from last year. Blockbusters like The Avengers and Skyfall helped boost sales.
If this is the case why do we constantly get screwed with delayed release dates? Or DVD releases that lack content to overseas editions?

Australia is only in this position because of the ridiculously high ticket prices we pay at the Cinema – the constant whining from Distributors about piracy hurting their bottom line is clearly bollocks…
Be higher if it was more affordable!

Jay you are spot on – would love to know what ranking we would be based on number of movie goers per capita compared to others
