Half way through 2014 and the YTD figures currently sit at Admissions -8.4% and
Revenue +3.1%. This decline in admissions is due to the relatively small amount
blockbuster films hitting the screens over the last few months. With the final
quarter housing big hitters such as the finale of The Hobbit trilogy and the
penultimate Hunger Games release, admissions should increase resulting in YoY
parity as predicted.
