  • From Page to Screen: Two-Thirds of Canadians Say the Best Television Shows and Movies Are Based on Books
    From Page to Screen: Two-Thirds of Canadians Say the Best Television Shows and Movies are Based on Books Ipsos and Indigo explore the reading habits of Canadians aged 18-70 and find that books make some of the best stories for film and TV, with most Canadians waiting to watch the movie to read the book first. Toronto, ON, September 22, 2020 — A new Ipsos poll, conducted on behalf of Indigo Books & Music Inc. (TSX:IDG), reveals the power of books and their influence on popular culture, with two-thirds of Canadians stating the best TV shows and movies are based on books. The vast majority (88%) of Canadians have read a book that is associated with a TV series or movie, and one in three (34%) have even postponed watching a TV series or movie so they could read the book it was based on first. Furthermore, three-quarters (73%) of those who have watched a TV series or movie based on a book prefer the book. Canadians enjoy a good story and appear to be interested in consuming the same story through multiple channels wherever possible. In fact, after watching a good TV series or movie, three-fifths (61%) of Canadians say they look forward to reading the book, a figure which rises to seven in ten (69%) among those aged 18-44 (vs. 52% aged 45-70). After reading a good book, an even higher proportion (81%; 86% aged 18-44 vs. 77% aged 45-70) look forward to watching the screen adaptation. Gen Z (97% 18-24 vs.
