CinemaCheck

Anyone who has ever searched the internet or more precisely YouTube for a movie trailer or even a movie review will be familiar with the following channel. The speech is logically from the Germany-wide known YouTube channel “KinoCheck”. Everyone knows this channel and has probably already consumed the content of the channel many times or even regularly follows the videos on the channel “KinoCheck”. But who or what is actually behind the channel “KinoCheck”, when was it founded and what else is there besides this channel from the same operator?

The channel “KinoCheck” was founded on 28 June 2012. Just a few days later, on 04 July 2012, the first movie trailer was released on the channel “KinoCheck”. At the time, this was the trailer for the first part of “The Hobbit” trilogy. In the further course, more and more film trailers gradually followed First in 2013, the content on the “KinoCheck” channel was expanded. Starting this year, in addition to the movie trailers, there were also movie reviews, making-of videos and other content related to the movies. The channel has maintained this strategy to this day. In Germany, “KinoCheck” is one of the largest movie and entertainment networks. That’s right, network. This is because the “KinoCheck” channel is not a single, stand-alone channel, but a large and wide-ranging network.

The German channel “KinoCheck” already reached the one million subscribers mark on YouTube in August 2016. But well before that milestone, a network of channels and collaborators had already been built for them. Already on 18 August 2014, the channel “KinoCheck International” was created. This is run in English and can therefore reach a larger audience than the German channel. This channel has also very quickly established itself and solidified itself in the scene. Just a year later, on December 17, 2015, the network took the next and quite possibly most significant step of her entire career. They published their own website called “KinoCheck”. On this website they offer the same content as on their German-language YouTube channel and also run the website in German. The website can be found at the web address: https://kinocheck.de. A very special detail of the website, however, is that you can find all the important information and videos about the respective film collected on one website and in one place. Furthermore, the website offers a lot of background information about the respective film, which is often missing in the videos. Thus, the network serves another criterion which they have not yet served in depth.

Then in 2016, the network took another step to attract another potential viewership. On 12 August 2016, the channel “KinoCheck Kids” was created. With this channel, the network explicitly serves another target group for itself and also manages to win them over. On the channel, as the name suggests, videos suitable for children are published. This allows parents to let their children enjoy the content of the canal without worry or fear.

In conclusion, it can be said that the entire network has been able to attract a great deal of attention. Furthermore, all channels have managed to attract large numbers of viewers. The “KinoCheck” channel, for example, already has over two million subscribers. Each of their videos reaches, depending on the film, several thousand to a hundred thousand views.
