Knowledge universe about audiences

AUDIENCES. More than two million Danes have watched Thomas Vinterberg’s 'Another Round' across platforms, and half of the audience are under the age of 35. These and many other insights are available to everyone at the Danish Film Institute’s expanding universe of audience information.

The Danish Film Institute's audience universe, Viden om publikum (Information About Audiences), is slowly but surely expanding its knowledge base, making more insight, data and inspiration available to makers of films and series to aid them in their audience efforts.

The universe offers numerous entry points to information about audiences for films and series. Dynamic tools let you search across theatrical and streaming. Insight and inspiration are showcased in videos, interviews, graphics, feature articles and galleries.

Although the universe is in Danish, you can explore a selection of articles in English. Also, we are preparing an English version of the tools monitoring audience data, available shortly.

The universe is created based on a study of how the industry employs audience perspectives in film production and promotion. The findings indicated a demand for greater insight, knowledge sharing and concrete inspiration.

The knowledge universe is primarily aimed at the film industry, but is open to anyone looking for insight into the media and audience habits of Danes, providing facts such as:

  • The reboot of 'Sex and the City' (HBO Max) has been seen by 335,000 Danes.    
  • Half of the audience for Thomas Vinterberg’s 'Another Round' are under the age of 35, and a large majority of them are women. 
  • Over the last five years, half of the theatrical audience has been under the age of 29.
