(4) NORWAY: COMMENTARY Norway is a large, wealthy country (the fourth richest in the world measured in GDP per capita), covering over 1,000 km from south to north. Its relatively small population (5.1 million: less than Denmark, Finland or Sweden) is concentrated in two big cities (Oslo and Bergen) and half a dozen smaller ones. Its film industry is well developed, both in terms of production (Norway boasts a long-established support system which sometimes as with HODJEGERNE [HEADHUNTERS] gets international exposure); and in terms of distribution and exhibition, with a system of municipal ownership of cinemas unique in Europe. Both multiplexes and smaller cinemas are well equipped Norway was the first country in the world to go 100% digital and, although the number of annual releases (an average of 223 over the five-year period surveyed) is towards the bottom end of the European scale, Norway offers enough space for arthouse films. Over a quarter of the films released there are European and, unlike many small territories, it is not swamped with US product: Hollywood s market share exceeded 50% in only one of the five years surveyed. Finally, as elsewhere in Scandinavia, there is a buoyant market for children s films. The selection of German films discussed in (5) below closely reflects this balance, with English-language films strong but not dominant, and children s films well represented. 11 Market Study Norway , Sept 2015, by Split Screen for German Films

12 The main economic markers screens, attendance and box office have remained pretty constant in the teens of the second millennium: admissions have varied between 11 and 12 million; the screen count has hardly changed; and any variation in box office totals noticeable in Section (1)(a) above is caused mainly by fluctuations in the exchange rate, which has seen the Krøne go from 7.3 to the Euro in 2012 to 9.0 in Measured in Krøne, the box office fell by just 2.5% between 2013 and All of which is to say that the Norwegian film business is, like the country itself, sturdy and steadfast. On the home entertainment front, the adoption of pay-tv and VOD has been facilitated by the fact that, given the mountainous terrain, most TV viewers already received their service by cable or satellite long before the new delivery systems became available. As elsewhere in the Nordic countries, the new services tend to operate on a transnational basis, with Sweden as the distribution centre. DVD and Blu-Ray sales are declining, with take-up of the latter peaking in VOD is growing steadily up by between 30% and 50% a year, with the pan-scandinavian set-up enabling a good range of titles. But, as the table above shows, VOD has yet to supplant the older delivery methods in Norway. (5) GERMAN FILMS IN NORWAY A small country with a limited number of releases per year, etc (see [4] above) Any general points about the market are mirrored in the performance of German films, for which Norway is never going to be a major market. Just 26 German films opened there between 2010 and With the exception of PETTERSSON UND FINDUS - KLEINER QUÄLGEIST GROSSE FREUNDSCHAFT, a German-produced episode in a popular Nordic series, none sold over 50,000 tickets, and only one other title, the English-language action/adventure THE THREE MUSKETEERS, sold over 20,000. The average was just 10,000 admissions, with an average box office take of EUR 109,584. On the art-film front, only the 3D dance documentary PINA made much impact, with ALLE ANDEREN, THE LAST STATION and OH BOY hovering around the 4,000 admissions mark and even serious blockbuster CLOUD ATLAS selling just 11,600 tickets. Among distributors, the appropriately titled Arthaus was the most regular client, taking EUR 725,888 from six German films (an average of EUR 120,981 per film), followed by Fidalgo with EUR 223,007 from five yielding a much lower average of EUR 44,601. Top-performing arthouse film was HANNAH ARENDT.
