In addition to film reviews and other related material, Skoop conducted surveys one of which was about the choices of people who went to cinemas. The results of the survey were published in the February–March 1984 issue of the magazine.{{cite journal|author=Dorothee Verdaasdonk| title=Moviegoing Frequency Among Dutch Consumers: Interaction Between Audiences and Market Factors|journal=International Journal of Arts Management |volume=7|issue=2|year=2005|jstor=41064842|page=57}}
