Ibero-American audiovisual industry trends

Overview

The Ibero-American audiovisual sector has shown divergent trends between regional attendance and specific national economic indicators. In 2025, overall cinema attendance in Ibero-America declined by 6.98%, with total spectators dropping to 584.8 million. This resulted in an 8.06% decrease in box office revenue, falling to $2,626 million. While the number of cinema screens and film releases increased, U.S. productions continued to dominate the market, holding an 86% spectator share.

Conversely, specific sectors within the region reported growth. In Spain, the audiovisual production sector saw its estimated Gross Value Added (GVA) reach 4,980 million euros in 2025, a 38% increase from 2022 levels. In Argentina, attendance has been bolstered by the strategic re-release of major titles, such as ‘Avengers: Endgame’, which accounted for nearly 30% of total attendance during a recent weekend in September.
