On the statistics – documentation, sources and method
See the documentation of statistics to learn more:
The purpose of the statistics is to describe the Danish structure of cinemas, the number of films to shown an audience and the number of tickets sold (paid admissions) to these shows. In their present form the statistics have been compiled since 1980.
The purpose of the Cultural Habits Survey is to document the cultural habits of the residents of Denmark. Culture is broadly defined, as the survey covers habits within the topics of culture, media and recreational activities, e.g. concerts, performing arts, cinema, literature, exercise, digital games and hobbies. The survey has been carried out regularly since 1964. Statistics Denmark has carried out the survey from 2018-2023 and in 2024-, while previous surveys have been carried out by the Ministry of Culture. The survey has been carried out with a new questionnaire since the first quarter of 2024, and is therefore not directly comparable with previous versions.
The purpose of the statistics on the economics of Danish feature films is to shed light on the financing of and costs associated with the production of Danish feature films, ie. where the money comes from and what it has been used for. As of 2023 the statistics furthermore sheds light on the revenue of Danish feature films. The statistics can be used to describe the financial framework conditions for Danish feature films. The statistics have been prepared for the first time in 2021 and cover the period from 2010 onwards.
