Prior to Cannes, the OBS releases its "Focus" on the state of the movie world globally. It always makes good reading. Here is an item I found interesting:
Admissions to European films released in Europe 2004
Classement provisoire sur la base de données provenant de 24 pays européens y compris la Turquie (environ 87 %des entrées dans l'Union européenne analysées)
Provisory ranking on the basis of data from 24 European countries
including Turkey (around 87% of admissions in the European Union analysed).

Interesting to see beyond the hype which films draw audiences, notably the n° 3 and 4 - totally unknown outside their native Germany. Special mention also goes to "G.O.R.A." at n° 11. For the record, I recommend Yann Moix' "Podium"
