dependent on a number of key
factors, including content, weather
and holiday periods.
At Kinepolis the goal is to involve the customer
even more and optimize the customer relationship, partly through online and mobile services.

SCREEN ADVERTISING
With the acquisition of advertising agency
Brightfish Kinepolis launched a new core business
in Belgium at the end of 2011. The transaction
triggered a consolidation on the Belgian screen
advertising market. At the same time, Kinepolis
ensured that the Belgian cinema industry once
again had a stable partner for screen advertising.
REAL ESTATE
Real Estate is a separate business unit tasked with
managing and developing Kinepolis’ property
portfolio. Kinepolis owns the vast majority of its
real estate, a situation that sets the Group apart
from many other cinema operators. When this
brochure was published Kinepolis had a portfolio
of 35 complexes, comprising 398 screens and
99,506 seats. Over 57,000 m² is let to third parties.
Footfall at these businesses (mostly shops and
cafes) is often generated by the attraction of the
Kinepolis complex.
Kinepolis makes maximum use of its portfolio and
continuously expands its property portfolio.
Kinepolis recently entered the Dutch market, is
pursuing further growth in Spain and France, and
regularly announces new-build projects. The Group
constantly strengthens its organization to support
this expansion. Kinepolis wants to introduce its
concept in new markets and for new target groups
to help create additional value for all stakeholders.
