so tired of the cinema while in some other European countries admissions remain stable? There are many reasons for this. Our focus is on the influence of streaming offers on the cinema landscape.

Streaming services such as Netflix and others, which have become studios and direct distributors themselves, are increasingly forging ahead. At the same time, studios are also becoming streaming providers. This changes user and viewing behavior. The traditional exploitation windows for cinema, home entertainment and TV no longer exist or are no longer comprehensible for the user.

productions by digital providers are rejected at many festivals as well as by cinema operators. But how long can we stand up against these platforms with their seemingly insatiable resources and dwindling cinema interest? In order to survive, we need forward-looking concepts.

For this reason, we look to our neighbors. In France, for example, films may only be offered on streaming platforms three years after the cinema release if the provider does not pay a levy into the French film funding system. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, several cinemas operate the Picl on-demand platform, where films can be streamed at the same time as the cinema release.

we will talk about further approaches to the central question: How do we get the viewer off the couch and back to the cinema?
