Statistical yearbook of film sales and cinema in Iran, 1401 (2022/23)

Cinema, as one of the cultural and creative industries, sits at the intersection of art, technology, and the economy. For this reason, success in it requires a comprehensive and multifaceted view. A view that, to meet the country's cultural and artistic needs, must observe these three sides together and correctly and, given existing conditions and requirements, engage in policymaking, planning, and implementation. One of the important requirements for this work is having statistics and information (data) and using them. Although one of the country's common and serious problems in various fields (including culture) is collecting and accessing data within a specified and orderly framework, the cinema industry is several steps ahead in this area.

The Cinema Organization of Iran has, since 1364 (1985/86), collected Iranian cinema data every year and made it available in the form of a report titled "Statistical Yearbook of Film Sales and Cinema of Iran." This report examines Iran cinema box office statistics and information from two perspectives: films (names of Iranian and foreign films screened, genres of Iranian films, country of production of foreign films, box office revenue and admissions by film) and cinemas (number of cinemas, number of screens, ticket price, box office revenue, number of admissions, and efficiency), at nationwide and provincial levels.
