Film Distribution Concentration Indices (2003-2009)Cinemas The Australian cinema exhibition industry is made up of three large chain operators (Greater Union, Hoyts and Village Roadshow) and some 140 smaller exhibitors. ABS (2001) data show that prior to 2000, the number of operators in the industry was in gradual decline at a rate of about three per cent per annum. At June 2000 there were 173 cinema businesses in operation with 97 of them earning less than AUD one million per annum. While the slow decline in the number of operators has continued over the past decade, the industry itself has grown both in terms of cinema screens and attendances. In 2009, Independent operators controlled 31 per cent of total screens. The three major chains controlled over 1,000 cinema screens (over 50 per cent of the total), the rest being controlled by several other smaller chains. Overall, there is low to medium concentration in the industry with little change recorded over the period 1998-2009 (see Table 8 and Figure 7 for details). Cinemas (1998-2009)
