Pop Up Cinemas statistics show that this niche form of cinema screening has become a notable niche industry, convenient for audiences and great for business at a time of changing market dynamics.
2018 saw cinema audiences grow ever larger, including in the UK. A wider range of venues offered an increasingly complex array of screenings, with pop up cinemas tapping in to the growth of the global interest in film.

The growth in ticket pricesn stalled in 2018, but other revenue streams, including concessions, advertising and online booking fees, continued to grow.

Covid-19 interrupted this growth in audience numbers in significant, complex, and long lasting ways. But the small and flexible nature of pop-up cinema allows it to adapt to changing market conditions more nimbly than the large multiplexes, which have seen staff cutbacks and the replacement of staff with booking terminals as one way to weather these economic storms.

What are Pop Up Cinemas?

Pop Up Cinemas are a temporary and moveable form of film screening to an audience. They show a limited number of screenings and the frequency depends on the location. That could be one screening per week, several screenings over one weekend, etc.

They might also be targeted towards certain times of the year, with outdoor cinema, Film4 summer screens, Luna cinema and roof top cinemas providing entertainment for the summer holidays. Or Christmas films played at a mobile cinema can attract shoppers into a city centre.

Sometimes a pop up event can happen in a cinema multiplex, showing a one-off screening of a London theatre or musical theatre performance.

Most audiences pay for the screening. In a room, that would be per person. In an outdoor cinema, it could be per person or per vehicle.

But pop up cinema screenings can also be free.

For example, showing an old classic in a cafe where customers just pay for the food and drink they consume. Some city centres set up large outdoor cinema screens and deck chairs in squares or parks close to retail units, so shoppers can enjoy a break from shopping.

The average revenue per screening is counted through ticket sales, but free and loss leading ticket prices allow companies to enhance their services with this entertainment, and then make more sales on their primary business.

What Makes Pop Up Cinemas Different?

Chains of cinemas in the UK, such as VUE, Cineworld, Empire Cinemas and Odeon offer large premises with multiple screens, and a daily programme of screenings showing a wide range of films seven days a week.

Their modern facilities have seats fixed to a raked or sloped floor, meaning the tiered seats give a good view of the screen for every audience member. The risks of a person's head blocking the view of the person behind them are reduced. And the sound system and screening technology will constantly strive to give an immersive experience for viewers.

Modern cinema complexes are well designed for accessibility, toilets, food and drink provision, and are supported by informative websites. Some also offer special ticket prices, subscription packages, reward point systems, and special events.

Independent cinemas are usually the older, traditional style of cinema building. There will be fewer screens, and the heritage buildings don't often offer the steep raking for chairs. But these venues try to adapt their buildings and technology to meet the expectations of a modern cinema-going audience.

Traditional and multiplex cinemas aren't pop-up cinema venues, as they were purpose built to show films. But they can host pop-up events, such as a special screening of a live event in another part of the country or world.

Pop Up Cinemas take place outdoors or in rooms designed for other purposes. Pop-up screens in a cafe, for example, can give a decent view to the audience, but it won't be as well designed as the complex screening and won't be immersive. That's why much of the pop up cinema market is dominated by classic and well known films, whereas a multiplex audience has a high preference for popular blockbuster movies.

The Advantages of Pop Up Cinemas

Given the technological advantages of the traditional cinema multiplex, why would anyone have a preference for pop up cinemas?

Sometimes it's to do with price. Attending an inexpensive or even free event has obvious advantages over the ticket prices of a chain cinema's offering, especially when you consider the optional add ons of 3D, premier seats, etc.

Others may be attracted by the chance to watch a well loved film on a big screen, and sharing the experience with friends or loved ones.

The location can also be a draw factor, especially if the temporary event is held at a more convenient place than getting to a multiplex. They might be a more family friendly envionment, depending on the venue chosen.

Mostly, though, the visitor's interest and attraction to pop-up cinema screenings comes from its novelty. You'll remember a night out with friends at an outdoor cinema for many years, and a lazy afternoon in a cafe watching a film can mean a break from the usual weekend duties without making a special effort.

Pop-up cinema is also a great way for filmmakers to get their films shown to their friends, supporters and collaborators. Watching an audience reaction can really help hone your editing skills, seeing which bits of the film succeeded or dragged, and giving you a chance to refine it before making film festival entries. These nights are particularly successful if you hire a venue with other filmmakers, as you each bring in something to screen, money for the deposit, and a network from which to draw a substantial audience.

Pop-up Cinema Market Size

The cinema industry attracts constantly changing audience numbers. 2018 saw a continuation of the upward industry trends in audience numbers, which had been rising over the past decade. Then along came Covid-19, and between government restrictions, social distancing fears, and more laterly perhaps people being out of the habit of attending screenings.

But added to the complexity of a changing market size thanks to a global pandemic, the value of the pop-up cinema industry in the UK is unknown because the figures aren't collated in the same way they are for multiplex and independent cinemas.

So there's no official source where the pop-up cinema market was valued and tracked, and we don't know to what extend the UK may have a share in the global pop-up cinema market. We do know the market is growing, because of the reported success of individual companies and the increasing presence of large screens in pubic places and signs for venues referred as a pop-up cinema.

Pop-up cinema is a niche of the market, which means it has a small market share of the overall filmed entertainment market.

According to Statista, in 2020, the gross revenue of the filmed entertainment market in the United Kingdom amounted to approximately £ 2.64 billion, down from £3.46 billion the previous year. The growth of the pop-up cinema has been noted in communities across the UK, but it will still only represent a few million.

The Luna Cinema, set up in 2012, is one of the major players in this niche market in the UK. Back in 2018, its 200 or so screenings generated a turnover in the range of £3 million, and although Covid-19 restrictions had an impact, in 2021 Companies House was notified that Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited became a person with significant control in the company.

Some of the major companies in this sector are:

Luna Cinema

Pop-up Screens

The Nomad Cinema

Picturehouse

Rooftop Film Club London

Sundown Cinema

Lost Lands Cinema

Snowcat Cinema

The Village Screen

Adventure Cinema

Backyard Cinema

Open Air Film & Chill

Sneaky Experience

Secret Cinema

Cinestock

But there are also an endless list of other venues and events which offer an array of entertainment opportunities to the general public, some of which aren't even selling tickets.

Another market niche, event cinema, was worth over £35 million in the UK and Ireland back in 2014, when it accounted for more than 3% of total box office sales. According to Stephen Follows, the highest grossing UK event cinema at the time was theatre productions, whereby live performances were streamed to cinemas across the UK, and accounted for more than a third of all event cinema box office revenue.

What will the future market look like? Will the UK increase the total number of venues and events, with new entrants into the market? If the market growth of the past decade is any indication, then the answer would be yes.

one of London’s favourite outdoor cinemas has the same plan, as Pop Up Screens are taking their magical movie nights to no fewer than eight lovely London spots this summer

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Having been confined to one very small part of London during lockdown, it's no surprise that we're raring to get out and explore as much of the city as possible this summer. Happily, one of London's favourite outdoor cinemas has the same plan, as Pop Up Screens are taking their magical movie nights to no fewer than eight lovely London spots this summer. Kicking off their summer season on July 23 - with a screening of cult classic Grease on the Greenwich Peninsula - they're all set for an unforgettable summer of film, and you can grab tickets to join in here.

From east to west, and from north to south, you won't be far from a Pop Up Screens event this year. Out west, they'll be popping up in Ravenscourt Park and Bishop's Park in Fulham, whilst Coram's Fields and Guildhall Yard are your central London options.

South of the river, Pop Up Screens can be found in Manor House Gardens near Lewisham, Brockley's Hilly Fields, Central Park on the Greenwich Peninsula, and Kennington Park. Each location has a truly eclectic line-up of films scheduled, catering for all cinematic tastes.

For instance, outdoor cinema favourites such as Dirty Dancing, A Star Is Born, and The Greatest Showman are screening throughout the summer. If you're after 80s classics, the likes of Back to the Future, The Goonies, and Ghostbusters will prove to your liking, whilst Oscar-watchers can opt for past winners like Moonlight, Philadelphia, or Jojo Rabbit. Whether you're into romance (500 Days of Summer, Notting Hill, 10 Things I Hate About You), music biopics (Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody), or escaping predators (Jaws, Jurassic Park), you'll find it all here.

Each location will have food and drink stalls selling delicious treats (including popcorn, naturally), because a film without snacks is like a day without sunshine. These enchanting film screenings will be filling the summer nights from July 23 until September 26, so all you'll need to do is grab your tickets, pitch up with a picnic blanket or comfy camping chair, and settle in for a night of films under the stars. Dreamy!

Pop-up cinema is a temporary or mobile cinema set up in parks, rooftops, city centers, grounds, and beaches that attract visitors to the location. With new comprehensive and creative offerings, new market players are entering. Screening value, capacity, seasonality, and physical environment are the key features attracting more customers to pop-up cinemas. Other factors helping the top market players improve their business services and increase the net screenings each year are technological progress in projections, mobile screens, and sound development. For instance, Tring Cinema which the local members of the community organizing is one of the leading community cinemas for Tring and the surrounding village. The increasing ticket prices in the past few years have reduced the number of theatre visitors; this increased the demand for the pop-up cinema market.

Based on preliminary data, the European Audiovisual Observatory estimates that the cinema attendance in the European Union and the UK increased to 383.2 million tickets sold in 2021. This is 83.8 million admissions more than in 2020, representing a year-on-year growth of 28 per cent. The rebound was less pronounced in the European Union only (EU27), where ticket sales increased by 21 per cent to 309.2 million admissions, 53.8 million visits more than in the previous year.

These results represent a sign of recovery for the exhibition sector after the massive crush registered in 2020, when admissions in the EU and the UK nosedived by 70 per cent in 2020 due to the coronavirus crisis.

In spite of the upswing, these figures are still well below pre-pandemic levels, as the prolonged closures of cinemas in the first half of the year, coupled with other restrictive measures, had a significant impact on the annual cinema attendance. Admissions for 2021 are still 61.9 per cent below the figures registered in 2019, when cinema attendance in the EU and UK topped 1 billion admissions, representing a total loss of 623.5 million tickets. A similar decline on 2019 (-62.8 per cent) was observed for the European Union only (EU27).

Signs of recovery were observed in the majority of markets for which data are available, with significant differences across territories. These geographical variations are most likely linked to the number of days in which theatres were allow to operate and to the different restrictive measures applied in each market.

As regards EU countries, the year-on-year increase in cinema attendance was significantly above average in Bulgaria (+90.9 per cent, +1.2 million admissions), Croatia (+77.1 per cent, 1.1 million), Ireland (+56.0 per cent, 2.1 million), France (+47.4 per cent, +30.9 million), Hungary (+44.6 per cent, +1.9 million), Portugal (+43.8 per cent, +1.7 million) and Spain (+34.6 per cent, +9.4 million). Conversely, ticket sales declined in nine EU markets, including the Netherlands (-14.6 per cent, -2.5 million admissions), Slovakia (-13.8 per cent, -0.3 million), Italy (-12.2 per cent, -3.7 million) and Finland (-11.7 per cent, -0.5 million admissions).

Outside of the EU, ticket sales jumped by 68.3 per cent to 74.0 million admissions in the UK, 30.0 million more than in 2020. Russia recorded by far the largest admissions volume in Europe for 2021 with 145.7 million tickets sold (+64.2 per cent on 2020) as the majority of cinemas in the country were allowed to remain open for most of the year. Conversely, admissions fell from 17.4 million to 12.5 million in Turkey (-28.3 per cent), as cinemas only reopened in July, for a total of 26 play weeks in 2021 (against 32 weeks in in 2020).

In most territories, the market share taken by national films decreased in comparison to 2020, when it had reached exceptionally high levels high due to the shortage of US blockbusters on release. However, in 2021 the share captured by domestic films was still above average in several markets, including the Czech Republic (41.9 per cent), Denmark (41.0 per cent), France (40.8 per cent) Norway (30.1 per cent) and the Netherlands (22.9 per cent).

In the UK, the market share for national films (including US studio-backed productions) decreased to 41.1 per cent, which compares to 46.5 per cent in 2020 and 47.2 per cent in 2019. In Turkey the domestic share dropped from 80.0 per cent to 23.1 per cent, an unusually low level compared to 80 per cent in 2020 and 56.3 per cent in 2019. Russia also saw its national market share decrease from 47.9 per cent in 2020 to 27.2 per cent in 2021, a figure which is well in line with previous years.

Preliminary data suggest that in the EU and the UK the box office was mainly driven by the success of US studio hits. The top-ranking films for the year include No Time to Die (GBinc/US), Spider-Man: No Way Home (US), Dune (US/CA) and Fast & Furious 9 - The Fast Saga (US).

Outdoor cinemas have a major disadvantage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Outdoor cinemas have one major disadvantage - they don't have air conditioning.

Instead, they're forced to make do with just the balmy evening air and a fresh cooling breeze that drifts along as the sun dips below the horizon, the day turns to night, and the screen lights up. Sounds utterly savage, we know.

But, if you can somehow still bring yourself to put up with that, then here are the very best wall-free cinemas popping up in the capital over the summer months...
See our colossal list of every single outdoor cinema screening this summer
The Vibe: They've got rooftops at Peckham's Bussey Rooftop Bar, Roof East in Stratford, and The Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch; and they're all equipped with popcorn, cocktails, and very handy wireless headphones. They're one of the godfathers of London outdoor cinemas, and being all on rooftops the view is almost as good offscreen as on it.

The Movies: They have new season goodness like Dr Strange & The Multiverse of Madness, Top Gun: Maverick, and Everything Everywhere All At Once, as well as some classics like Superbad, In The Mood For Love, and Clueless.

The Vibe: Pretty fancy. For the first time it's being held in the brand-new six-acre park outside the newly revamped Battersea Power Station - and the combination of riverside views and the Grade II* listed behemoth makes for a backdrop almost as attention grabbing as what's on the screen. The screenings are run by the nearby Cinema In The Arches, so you'll find gourmet popcorn and snacks on offer, as well as seafood-heavy street food & cocktails from the Wright Brothers ' pop-up shack.

The Movies: It's pretty classic outdoor cinema fare, spanning cult flicks like Dirty Dancing and The Goonies up to modern classics A Star is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody.

The Vibe: Um, the vibe is floating. On a beautiful, festoon-lit, astroturfed pontoon in the middle of the historic and uniquely atmospheric St Kat's Docks, to be precise. They're intimate screenings with small audiences perched on deckchairs and beanbags for two, and come with the considerable benefit of being parked under a rain-proof marquee.

The Movies: It's a nice line-up of mostly recent-ish releases (Parallel Mothers, Encanto, Licorice Pizza) with Pretty Woman thrown in, because outdoor cinema.

The Vibe: Bar Elba is a colourful, fun, bubbly rooftop bar with 5th floor views out across the South Bank. Depending on what package you spring for there's popcorn, cinema sweets, and even bottomless booze. Rock up, watch the sun set, slap on your wireless headphones, and recline into a deck chair with plenty of Elba room.

The Movies: It certainly leans towards the old school (Die Hard, Mean Girls, Gremlins, etc.) but there are a few slightly newer releases on the docket for this summer including Dune, Last Night in Soho, and House of Gucci.

The Vibe: Free. The vibe is free. But there are no chairs (in fact, all seating is banned) and there's a limit to how many people can rock up. Once they hit the magic number, there's no more admittance. So be early, and enjoy the fact that they also show a lot of sporting events, including cricket, tennis, and horse racing.

The Movies: Aside from a few Pride month specials (Brokeback Mountain, Carol), it's all family friendly stuff, like Finding Nemo, Encanto, The Incredibles, etc.)

The Vibe: The Scoop, a mini amphitheatre carved out of the river-bank next to The Mayor's Office, is going to be hosting just about everything this summer (from comedy, to fitness classes, to sports, to music). And every Tuesday, they'll be showing a film for free. Just show up, grab a seat, and admire the view of Tower Bridge.

The Movies: King Richard, Frozen (sing-a-long), Dirty Dancing, Spiderman: No Way Home, Space Jam 2, West Side Story (2021)... there's quite a lot going on, especially considering they're all gratis.

The Vibe: With the exception of VIP tickets, the vibe here is very much no-frills: you need to bring your own deckchair, picnic blanket, snacks & drinks, you name it. There are over 70 venues across the UK, and two of them are in London - at Charlton House & Osterley Manor.

The Movies: West Side Story (2021) and Mamma Mia! are hitting the screens at both locations, but Charlton House is also getting Rocketman and Osterley is getting Rocky Horror.

Dates: 24th, 25th, 26th June (Charlton House - book tickets) | 1st, 2nd, 3rd July (Osterley Manor - book tickets) | 19th, 20th, 21st August (Beckenham Place Park - book tickets)
-

The Vibe: Big. The vibe is big. They're hosting 175+ starlit screenings across the UK this year, with dozens in London alone. At all of them, you'll find hot food, a bar, and (depending on the seating situation) blankets & backrests.

The Movies: Way too many to list. Whether it's a new flick (Dune, Encanto, Belfast, etc.) or a classic (Cool Runnings, Some Like it Hot, Star Wars, etc.) they probably have a screening of it.

The Vibe: These free screenings are particularly great, thanks to the fact that the seating is all situated on the grass-covered canal-side steps leading up to Granary Square, which means that everyone gets a good view. They'll play movies, plus Wimbledon and the occasional live music show. And? You can order from the Everyman cinema's menu, too.

The Movies: Dune, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Free Guy, West Side Story, Belfast, King Richard, Matilda, and an Encanto Sing-a-Long.

Dates: 27th June - 7th August | No tickets, just turn up
-

The Vibe: It's both outdoors and indoors, and it's basically like a big watermelon carrying festival. Of course, this is Secret Cinema, so we can't exactly splurge on details here.

The Movies: Um, Dirty Dancing.

The Vibe: Like any redeveloped London neighbourhood worth its salt, Paddington's hosting its own free outdoor cinema screenings this summer. Here, they've got a screen set up right by the canal, and there are free deckchairs & popcorn for the first to arrive.

The Movies: Ghostbusters Afterlife, Coco, Moulin Rouge, Mean Girls and The Parent Trap.

The Vibe: there are several things that Sunset Screenings do differently. 1) they only show British films. 2) they have a truly giant screen, at 9×7 meters. And 3) the screenings take place inside a beautiful walled cafe patio.

The Movies: The all-British lineup includes Labyrinth, Notting Hill, Withnail & I, and Charlie Chaplain's Modern Times.

The Vibe: It's replacing the big purple cow tent that was housing live shows for the Underbelly Festival in Earl's Court - so there's a huge site to explore around the screen itself, including street food stalls, pop up bars, free boules courts, and an urban beach.

The Movies: It's a nice mix of old and new, from classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's and Reservoir Dogs to Little Women and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Plus, there's a load of family-friendly screenings every afternoon.

The Vibe: Pop Up Screens isn't just a name. It's an inflatable cinema screen that - if you arrive early enough - you can literally see pop up. Since opening back in 2011, they've gone from strength to strength, and now boast venues across the capital with bars, food, fresh popcorn, and even chairs. And to celebrate 10 years in the biz, all tickets are just £10.

The Movies: They've handpicked classics from the '70s (Grease), the '80s (The Breakfast Club, The Goonies), the '90s (Empire Records, 10 Things I Hate About You), the '00s (Moulin Rouge!), the '10s (The Greatest Showman), and the present (No Time To Die).

The Vibe: What Greenwich Peninsula's outdoor cinema lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for by being distinctly affordable, at £6 a pop. It's tacked onto a summer-long season of free entertainment, which includes live music, pop-up minigolf & ping-pong, and screenings of Wimbledon & Tour de France.

The Movies: Relatively recent releases including Parallel Mothers, Respect, Us, West Side Story and Dune.

The Vibe: This one is, as the keener detectives will have guessed, at The Barbican. Specifically, in their atmospheric Sculpture Court, against a backdrop of the City skyline and the arts complex's iconic brutalist buildings. And as you might expect, they're not showing the Greatest Showman...

The Movies: ...what they are showing however is Studio Ghibli classic Princess Mononoke, the iconic concert film of Pink Floyd at Pompeii, and the awesome '60s creature feature Mothra.

Three locations are showing festive films for you and your family to enjoy

FESTIVE cinema returns to Cardiff this Christmas so you can watch movies in some amazing locations.

From Elf to Home Alone there are many films worth going to watch and these are where you can see them.

Cardiff Castle

The Castle is hosting Winter Wonderlands ice skating this year but will be home to a Christmas cinema as well.

They're teaming up with Underground Cinema to bring you The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf and many more festive films.

Cardiff Castle ticket manager, Lloyd Glanville said: "They are so popular. Home Alone and Elf are those Christmas classics that we know people will snap up.''

Visiting tourist, Solomon Michelo, 25, from Glasgow said: ''I would 100% go to one of the films.''

With the new Covid variant being an issue, Cohine Kayya, 27, from Glasgow and visiting Cardiff said: ''If the cinema is outside, it is fine and if people test themselves and stay socially distanced it would be good as well.''

" Home Alone is already sold out and The Polar Express is down to the last four tickets," said Mr Glanville.

Due to the pandemic, Mr Glanville stated: ''There is a slightly reduced capacity on the screening, normally it is 90 but it has been cut to 55 to allow for greater distancing but they almost always sell out.''

The films will be shown in the castle's Undercroft and will be shown Saturday, December 18 and Sunday, December 19.

Tickets are £8.50 for adults and £5.50 for children.

You can book your tickets here.

Lost Lands Cinema, Penarth

Back by popular demand, Lost Lands cinema will be showing Christmas films this year with the first being shown on December 4.

The outdoor cinema will be held at The Deck on the marina, under their cosy dome tent.

Blankets will be provided and the dome will be heated.

Table service is available for snacks and drinks for you to enjoy during the films.

The Grinch That Stole Christmas, Die Hard and Edward Scissorhands are the pick of the bunch that will be shown.

Tickets cost £6 per person and you can get them here.

What is a pop-up cinema?
A pop-up cinema is a mobile or temporary cinema, usually set-up in a location such as a park, beach, the grounds of a visitor attraction, on a city centre roof-top or other distinctive venue (indoor or outdoor).

A pop-up cinema can be differentiated from a traditional permanent cinema (such as a multiplex like Vue, Cineworld, Odeon etc.) or independent cinema house in terms of:

Technology: a mobile cinema screen and supporting projection and sound system is installed for a specific film screening or series of screenings.

Films shown: pop-up cinemas tend to screen timeless classics or other popular modern films that customers are very familiar with (and may have watched many times) - rather than just the latest film releases.

Physical environment: the mobile and temporary nature of a pop-up cinema provides great flexibility in terms of the locations that can be used. The variety and choice of physical environment selected also adds value to the customer experience - e.g. showing "Jaws" by the side of a large swimming pool (with mechanised "sharks" swimming around the customers lying on their pool loungers).

Seasonality: whilst some pop-up cinemas operate indoors (e.g. inside museums, churches or other indoor venues), most screenings in the UK market appear to be concentrated in the summer months from early May to early September which are better suited for outdoor screening venues.

Capacity: whilst permanent cinema screens usually have a capacity of between 100-500 seats, the choice of venue by a pop-up can enable an even larger capacity to be offered (e.g. 1,000+) depending on the physical layout of the venue, location restrictions on lighting and noise + the size of the screen and sound reach.

Additional "added value" to the screening: an operator like Secret Cinema adds value to the pop-up cinema experience with "immersive experiences" directly linked to the movie being screened - and raise their selling prices accordingly!
