history

The magazine, founded in cooperation with the Kiba- Gesellschaft by Vienna's Metro Zeitschriftenverlag , was first published in February 1983. The first edition had 12 pages in the 29 × 22 cm format, had a print run of 50,000 and was available free of charge in all Kiba cinemas in Vienna. Within 14 months the volume increased to 24 pages and the circulation to 80,000 copies. In 1995 the magazine already had 90 pages and a circulation of 230,000 copies per issue. According to the company's own information, the circulation in 2017 was 101,000 copies, which are available in 88 multiplexes and cinemas and in 32 Thalia branches throughout Austria.

Most recently, according to the ÖAK (2nd half of 2019) , the widespread circulation was 82,122.

In 2001 the publisher of SKIP , Metro Verlag , was bought by R&D Verlag (Chris Radda and Andreas Dressler), which in turn became part of the publishing group known today as the Styria Media Group . In 2009 the publishing group sold several magazines, including SKIP , which was taken over by its then managing director Michael Ginalis with the help of a group of investors and has since been published by the newly founded Skip Media GmbH. In 2016, the management was taken over by Wolfgang Grob, the current editor-in-chief is Christoph Prenner. In February 2019, the owner Josef Hruby took over the management.

In 2017, according to the media analysis working group , the reach was 235,000 readers per issue. This makes SKIP the largest film magazine in Austria, ahead of competitors such as The Gap and Ray .

In April 2020, the insolvency of Young Skip Media GmbH became known. The reason given was the cinemas closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
