In 2002, there were 881 multi-screen film theatres in Europe. 136 more than the previous year. New theatres were built in Bulgaria and Lithuania, bringing the number of countries with at least one multi-screen to 27. This and much else besides is contained in the latest edition of the Media Salles’ "European Cinema Yearbook", the 11th edition of which was presented at the Berlin Film Festival. The novelties include the appearance of South Korea in the table comparing European and international markets, and a census of the theatres equipped with digital technology.
