About Empire magazine

Empire is the world’s biggest movie magazine, with almost 40 years of history covering Hollywood. In that time, it has been guest-edited by such titans as Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Sam Mendes, while Quentin Tarantino once declared that, “Movies are my religion and Empire is my church.” With unparalleled access to the inner workings of the movie industry, Empire brings its readers the most exciting set visits, most sought-after interviews and most thrilling imagery, taking them as close as is possible to the A-list action.

Empire has trusted reviews advising you what to see (and what not to) and expert analysis of an ever-changing industry. It’s your monthly guide to Hollywood, taking you on adventures and keeping you abreast of essential developments in the world of cinema.

But Empire is far more than just a magazine. It’s a brand that encompasses four award-winning podcasts (The Empire Film Podcast, Pilot TV, The Empire Spoiler Special Podcast, Pilot TV+), a vibrant website, a digital edition and live events, plus incredible subscriber-only offers and rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I'm buying as a gift, do you send anything to the recipient?

Yes, if you have the email address of the recipient, we can send an e-card at the time of purchase or on a date of your choice. Please note that if your gift subscription comes with a welcome gift, the welcome gift will be sent to you to give to the recipient or to keep for yourself.

Which issue will my subscription start from?/When will my first magazine arrive?

Print subscriptions: When you place your print order, you will be able to choose the start issue of your subscription once in the checkout and the expected delivery date will be shown.

Digital subscriptions will be accessible on the day of purchase. Once you have completed checkout, you will receive further instructions on how to access your digital subscription.

What is included in my digital subscription?

As standard with our digital subscriptions, you will receive:

Instant access to all the content via the app
Special bonus content via an email
Access to rewards

You may receive additional benefits depending on the brand. Please see the Subscriber Benefits tab for a full list of benefits that you will receive.

How will I find out about rewards, competitions and access to content?

Currently, digital subscription rewards can ONLY be accessed via the app. So please install the app on your phone or tablet.

All information regarding rewards, bespoke competitions, and access to content will be available in the app and via email.

Is the app optimised for use on smartphones?

Yes – every issue of the magazine and all content is published in what we call ‘device-optimised templates’ on our app. This means that no matter the size of the screen you use, your magazine will be easy to read.

What additional features does the app offer over a print magazine?

The app gives you the best of both worlds! You can either enjoy your digital magazine in old-fashioned ‘magazine view’, which is basically a PDF replica of your print magazine, OR you can read it in optimised template format - we call this ‘digital-view’ mode.

On the app, when you’re reading the magazine in digital-view mode, you’ll see a header bar at the top of each article. Here you’ll be able to:

Select audio mode and listen to the magazine being read to you
Select the size of text you find easiest to read
Bookmark features you want to quickly return to
Switch to ‘dark mode’ to make it easier to read your content

You'll also be able to access the content almost instantly when you purchase either a Print + Digital or Digital only subscription.
