Netherlands suffered from a lack of domestic blockbusters last year, according to film fund CEO.
Doreen Boonekamp, CEO of the Netherlands Film Fund, has expressed her confidence that Dutch films can recapture the local market share they lost last year.
Dutch films performed markedly less well in 2016 than they did the year before. They had a 12.3% share, down from 18.7%.
Overall, box office was slightly up. According to statistics released earlier this month by Fdn (Flmdistributeurs Nederland), there were 34,177,932 cinema admissions in 2016, an increase of 3.7% compared to 2015.
Investments in new locations, renovations and refurbishments, new techniques and concepts and the success of international productions were credited for the growth.
The most popular films of 2016 were Bridget Jones’s Baby, Finding Dory and The Secret Life Of Pets. The sequel Soof 2 (pictured) was the most popular Dutch movie of the year.
