New Zealand is rising in many of the key digital media metrics according the a recent PWC report that indicates internet advertising will grow 14% per year through to 2020.
Among the avalanche of data there, one small tidbit of note indicates that cinema attendance in New Zealand has remained steady in spite of increasing competition from online platforms and what is described as “alternative ways of accessing filmed entertainment”.
Having recently enjoyed all the efforts of cast and crew in Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople in a local cinema filled with a very receptive and appreciative audience, I’m glad to hear that.
