Inbetweeners and Harry Potter helped boost ticket sales massively this year, however, next year the Olympics will be building base in England and this may have a big impact on people going to the cinema.
"It's going to be a tricky period," acknowledged the organisation's chief executive Mark Batey.
He said cinema attendance could suffer "not just for the two-and-a-half weeks of the Olympics, but also the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Euro 2012, Wimbledon, the British Grand Prix and the Paralympics".
"The whole summer season of May to September is going to be a very challenging period."
In 2010, distributors scheduled Sex And The City 2 against the World Cup, hoping to capitalise on "football widows" escaping from two weeks of soccer.
So, do you think the above factors will have any kind of say when it comes to people going to the cinema? With no big releases due for next year, the Cinema sales may see a decrease, there is only one way to find out!
