Entertainment Desk: Saudi Arabia’s entertainment industry is growing rapidly. Recently, such a report has been published by the Ministry of Commerce of the country. Saudi Arabia’s second quarter business bulletin said efforts to improve the cinema sector continued.
According to reports published by Arab news media Arab News and Arabian Business, the cinema industry has already increased by 30 percent compared to last year due to the development.
According to a report by Saudi Press Agency, the country’s local news outlet, 1,700 commercial registers have been issued in the film production sector. Last year its number was 1300.
The country believes that the promising industries of the country should be taken forward for the implementation of Saudi Arabia Vision 2030. One of the promising industries is the cinema industry. Therefore, Saudi Arabia has undertaken a comprehensive plan for the development of this industry.
After 1970, Islamic leaders in Saudi Arabia closed down cinemas. That is why there was no cinema hall in the country for 35 years. In 2018, the country’s royal family decided to lift the ban on cinema halls.
Not only that, the country’s first cinema hall was opened in Riyadh on April 18 that same year. Since then, as the number of halls in Saudi Arabia is increasing, so is the number of visitors.

American magazine Variety reported in a report that in 2021, Saudi Arabia earned 450 million US dollars from the movie market, which is about 3,850 crores in Bangladeshi currency. If this development continues, Saudi Arabia can become the tenth largest cinema market in the world in 2025.
