Film industry in Norway - statistics & facts
Some cinema markets entered the second year of the pandemic ready for a full recovery, while others continued in a spiral of decline. Norway is somewhere between those two groups. In 2023, the Nordic country recorded one of the five lowest annual growths in box office revenue among European economies. Furthermore, Norway ranked 22nd in cinema attendance in Europe in 2023, five positions below its placement two years earlier. Local film production found its niche, with Norway being one of the only eleven European countries where domestic films accounted for over 20 percent of movie ticket sales in 2023.
