UGC

Across France, UGC is a major cinema operator: its business centres on movie theatres, film exhibition, and cinema memberships, alongside film distribution and production. That gives it a broader role than a company that only runs screens, while the main customer-facing draw remains the familiar cinema outing and a programme of current releases. By our assessment, that combination makes UGC a substantial player in the French film business. Its offer still depends on local cinema schedules and the films available at any given time, so it is not a substitute for a streaming catalogue at home.
