  • Cinema Industry Market Update Spring 2020
    CINEMA INDUSTRY Houlihan Lokey Theatrical Exhibition Market Update Dear Client, There has been much concern and speculation over the future prospects of the theatrical business globally, due to COVID-19 closures. While we remain optimistic about the strength and importance of the theatrical window and expect pent-up demand for cinematic experiences as well as pent-up supply from the major studios by the time the business resumes to normal, the potential for lingering impacts from stay-at-home orders and social distancing on theatrical exhibition is still unclear. Additionally, the ongoing high-profile dispute between a leading theatrical operator AMC and Universal Pictures further highlights the uncertainties surrounding the current windowing model. The past several weeks have taken a major toll on theatrical exhibition. With a few exceptions, cinema locations have been closed worldwide. To date, the biggest box office losses have been recorded in Asia, with China, Japan, and South Korea ending the first quarter of 2020 down 88%, 64%, and 53% over the same period last year, respectively. French and Spanish box office results have been hardest hit in Europe, down 31% and 21% in the first quarter of 2020. Domestic box office was down 25.4%, totaling $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020 versus $2.4 billion for the same period last year. In the absence of domestic theatrical window, some studios have opted to release their titles straight to premium video-on-demand (PVOD). Universal Pictures’ Trolls World Tour has been the first big- budget film released as a $19.99 PVOD-exclusive title on April 10.
