Cock-a-doodle Doo ! The most visited cinema in the world is in France!
And it is of course a room that is emblematic of the capital, to say the least.
UGC des Halles stronger than London and Los Angeles!
In 2022, the cinema in France recovered, with attendance up by more than 59% compared to 2021, and a total of 152 million admissions. Of course, it should be remembered that in 2021 the halls were closed for more than four months due to the pandemic.
The fact remains that the cinema has regained its letters of nobility, even though the results for 2022 remain behind compared to the ” world before (the pandemic). In its latest study, the American firm Comscore wanted to draw up the list of the most frequented cinemas in the world, and it is the UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles, in Paris, which takes first place.
27 cinemas, and 2.2 million spectators in 2022
The Parisian complex has the luxury of outclassing the Showcase Bluewater in London and the AMC Burbank in Los Angeles, with a total of 2.2 million admissions over the past year. In total, the UGC des Halles has a total of 27 screens (and 3,820 seats), with films that sometimes stay on screen for more than 10 weeks.
For Brigitte Maccioni, CEO of UGC, this success is to be credited to ” the relevance of the model carried by UGC cinemas, which promotes all cinematographies, from American blockbusters to Arthouse films. In addition to a very large number of rooms available, the UGC Ciné Cité-Les Halles cinema also has a wide range of hours, the latter being open from 9 a.m. until midnight.
In addition, the UGC complex is part of the Forum des Halles, the largest shopping center in France, which welcomes tens of thousands of visitors every day, which makes it very attractive.
