REVIEW OF 2021 After two years of the global COVID 19 pandemic, the film sector is navigating uncertain waters, trying to recover and finding out which elements of work will return and which won’t. Against a backdrop of high uncertainty the challenge for theatres and cinemas is to find back audiences which they’ve lost along the way. 2021 was another challenging year, where the Fund has been very much focusing on supporting both industry and professionals. From a European perspective, the Dutch industry still managed to yield a fair performance. Total Dutch film & audio-visual market revenues truly exploded from €731M to €986M. Total SVOD and TVOD together generated a record 822M euro, a 51% increase. Of that figure the SVOD market represents the bulk share with 777M euro, a staggering increase in turnover value compared to the previous year. It must be noted that these are industry estimates. The lack of data transparency and absence of rules and regulations in the Netherlands enable the dominant foreign platforms to share zero data about market share, turnover, catalogue size, Dutch content, number of customers, reach etc. Out of the 50+ VOD platforms operating in the Netherlands only a few very small players like PICL are willing to share data publicly. Total theatrical admissions dropped from 16.8M to 14.2M compared to the previous year. The Dutch domestic share could climb a notch from 21.2% to 23.1%. In 2021 298 films were released into Dutch cinemas. Of these 298 releases, 51 were Dutch (2020: 43). Due to cinemas being closed for a prolonged period and with the explosion of streaming in 2021, the total box office revenues shrank to 142M euro, a mere 14.4% of total market turnover. DVD and Blu-ray sales already showed a downward trend in the last years and 2021 was no exception. Physical retail generated €22 million, a 39% decrease in comparison to 2020. As a public fund, we foresee that the many changes for the film industry, accelerated by the pandemic years will need more time to adjust to, in order for it to re-balance itself in this shifted power dynamic. Bero Beyer Netherlands Film Fund Summer 2022


MARKET SHARES IN ADMISSIONS DOMESTIC PRODUCTIONS Market share for Dutch films climbs to 23,1% Similar to the global situation, 2021 was not a very good year for Dutch films, mainly due to the effects of the corona crisis. Admissions were down in comparison to 2020. However, despite the return of some strong international titles, which were postponed in 2020, domestic films saw a small increase of market share from 21,2% in 2020 to 23,1% in 2021. This effect was less apparent in other European countries, which mostly showed a significant decrease in market share of domestic films.

4.2 TOP 20 ADMISSIONS FOR DUTCH FILMS IN 2021 The Forgotten Battle/De Slag om de Schelde best performing Dutch Film Nearly all admissions to Dutch films were from the top 20’s share (97%). This is an increase compared to 2020 (93%) and 2019 (83%). Although 2021 saw more Dutch films released than 2020 (51 vs. 43), admissions dropped from 3.5 to 3.3 million. The long periods of lockdowns and restrictions in relation to the corona crisis played a large role in the decline. The Forgotten Battle/De Slag om de Schelde was the best visited Dutch film of 2021, closely followed by Rebels @ School/Luizenmoeder - De Film.

4.6 DISTRIBUTOR MARKET SHARES 2017-2021 Market share major distributors recovers from 2020 The corona crisis had a big impact on the release schedule of films in 2020. Major distributors in particular were forced to postpone most of their upcoming films. 2021 showed some recovery with more films released in cinemas. This resulted in a big increase in market share from major distributors (from 36,6% in 2020 to 57,9% in 2021), and a decrease for independent distributors (from 63,4% to 42,1%). Source: FDN

FINLAND

On average, Dutch people visited cinemas in 2021 less than once (0,8), which is a decline in comparison to 2020 (1,0) and less than half as much as in the years before the corona crisis. Due to the corona crisis, other European countries also struggled to get people back to cinemas more than once.

6.2 THEATRICAL BOX OFFICE, DVD/ BLU-RAY & DIGITAL TURNOVER

REVENUES OF THE DUTCH MARKET IN EUR (M) TOTAL 986

In 2021 the theatrical boxoffice, greatly impacted by the corona crisis, is only a fraction of the total market turnover In 2021 VOD again profited greatly from selfquarantining (staying at home) due to the corona crisis. Total SVOD and TVOD together generated a record 822M euro, a 51% increase. Of that figure the SVOD market represents the bulk share with 777M euro, a staggering 58% increase* in turnover value compared to the previous year. Due to cinema’s being closed for a prolonged period and with the explosion of streaming in 2021, the total box office revenues shrank to 142M euro, a mere 14.4% of total market turnover. DVD and Blu-ray sales already showed a downward trend in the last years and 2021 was no exception. Physical retail generated €22 million, a 39% decrease in comparison to 2020. It must be noted that the large increase of the SVOD value can also be influenced by a change in the method of calculation.

SVOD value is solely based on subscriptions. No distinction is made in the viewing behavior of films/ documentaries and other content like reality TV, sports and series.

6.3 VOD PLATFORMS AND SERVICES More than 50 VOD platforms available in The Netherlands The number of VOD platforms Dutch audiences can use to watch films and documentaries is still increasing. A total of 52 TVOD and SVOD (including catch-up) platforms are available to the public. Although specific numbers are not made public, according to our own analysis the overall trend still shows a significant growth in subscribers of SVOD. One TVOD service (PICL) co-operates directly with exhibitors and distributors and offers users the opportunity to watch movies at home while they are still playing in cinemas. Users pay the price of a regular ticket and can choose to ‘’donate’’ their admission price to one of the associated theatres.

7.3 CREATIVE EUROPE PROGRAMME SUPPORT 2014-2020 Almost 35 million euros to the Dutch audio-visual industry through Creative Europe Desk NL between 2014-2020 Due to the delay of the first “new generation” calls within the new Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027 and modifications in the grant agreement procedure, complete data of 2021 are not available at time of this publication. Dutch participation in the previous Creative Europe program (2014-2020) reveals that the Netherlands did very well. Almost 35 million euros went directly to the Dutch audio-visual industry.
