Europe: number of movie tickets sold 2019-2021

Throughout 2021, movie theaters across Europe sold approximately 589 million tickets, up 36 percent from 432 million a year earlier. Despite the growth, the 2021 figure accounted for less than 44 percent of the nearly 1.35-billion attendance recorded in 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak. Similarly, Europe's box office gross increased in 2021, yet fell behind pre-pandemic heights.
