Lumiere (database)

Lumiere (stylized as LUMIERE) is an online database of ticket sales for films released in 27 European territories.[1] Based in Strasbourg, France, the database was proposed by the Advisory Committee of the European Audiovisual Observatory (Observatoire européen de l’audiovisuel) ("Observatory"). In 1996, the Observatory began to regularly collect data on admissions to films distributed in Europe. In 1997, it conducted a study and concluded that such a database was necessary to meet various needs within the European film industry.

The database was created in cooperation with national information sources and the MEDIA Programme of the European Union.[2] Software was developed in the summer of 2000 and the Lumiere database was launched on 13 November 2000. The initial database provided details of 6,395 films produced in 68 countries from years 1996–1999.

The criteria for the identification of films in the Lumiere database are: original title, translation of the title, country of origin, year of production, and name of director(s).[3]
