Second most popular cinema in the world in 2022 with the UGC des Halles 27 in Paris ahead of it.
“The UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles in the center of Paris drew more moviegoers in 2022 than any theater in the world, according to a new report from Comscore.
With its 27 theaters, the UGC des Halles is the largest in Europe. It sold 2.2 million tickets last year, vaulting it ahead of the Burbank in Los Angeles and Showcase Bluewater in south-east London."
No. 1 theatre in 2022 with 2,221,000 tickets sold with the AMC Burbank and The Showcase in SE London at blue water.
Avec 2 221 000 millions de spectateurs, l’UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles se positionne à nouveau comme premier cinéma au monde en termes d’entrées. Ce résultat confirme la précédente mesure Comscore datée de 2018.
« Le succès de l’UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles démontre la pertinence du modèle porté par les cinémas UGC, qui valorise toutes les cinématographies, du blockbuster américain aux films Art et Essai » commente Brigitte Maccioni, Présidente-Directrice générale d’UGC. « Cette diversité de films constitue la pierre angulaire de la stratégie portée par le Groupe UGC. C’est cet éclectisme, cher aux spectateurs, qui fait de la France le premier marché européen et le troisième marché mondial après les Etats-Unis et la Chine » précise-t-elle.
