Film producers obtain subsidies for different stages in the production process (see: Chart 2) from the Film fund (directly financed by OCW, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science), the CoBO fund (financed by the public broadcasters; aimed at tv) and STIFO (StimuleringsFonds, financed by the public broadcasters; cultural objectives tv and radio). In 2006 investors could be found via FINE BV (consulting agency for special tax regulations, founded by the government) and in the investors market. In the EU context, special conditions have to be met in order to obtain European subsidy at Eurimages and the Media Plus programs. As of June 21st 2007 entries for the new Supplementary Regulations for films with two-thirds funding can be made. Producers with 65% of their production financing in place can apply for the final third of their film’s budget. 25% of total financing must be from private investors. The budget is yearly 13 million euros.

The number of domestic titles released in 2007 dropped to 21 titles. The number of prints for domestic titles increased to 960 prints. The significant increase of the number of prints for UK titles is due to the fact that in 2007 co-productions are included in the country of origin of the most important produ-cer. The UK-USA co-production Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is included in the number of prints for UK titles.

1 In 2007 the co-productions are included in the country of origin of the most important producer.

A closer look at 2007 market shares in the country of origin shows that domestic titles constituted about 18% of all EU titles. On average domestic prints per title counted 46, for EU (including the Netherlands) it was 22 prints per title and for the US 43 prints per title.

From 2003-2007 the number of cinemas decreased where the number of screens increased. The trend of concentration of screens in multiplexes (and incidentally a cultiplex) lies under-neath. In 2007 the number of seats dropped to 106.100, which probably indicates that smaller screens also were built and/or the seating became more spacious.

4 Municipal cinemas include film theatres A and B with weekly programs; film theatres C have not been included.

In the Netherlands the admissions per capita figure in 2007 was 1,4, which is the same as the year before. Most of the other countries dropped slightly, except for the UK and Italy. We still experience the lowest admissions per capita compared to the EU big five and Belgium.

The theatrical revenues and the total value of DVD/VHS sales dropped significantly in 2005, probably caused by downloading. In 2006, both these numbers recovered and in 2007 they even increased. The total value of DVD/VHS rental in 2006 dropped significantly to 90 million euros, probably caused by downloading as well.
