Not more than 35% of all screenings for one movie, except the national one, i.e. produced in Russia. This proposal aimed to \u201csupport fair competition in Russian market\u201d and provide equal screening opportunities for all movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Certainly Russian cinemas didn\u2019t like this proposal. It can cause damages and losses for them. Therefore they have sent a letter to administration of Russian president with plea to deny amendments to the law proposed by the Russian MinCult. The letter states that the \u201csynthetic restrictions and excessive state intervene can impede the development of cinemas\u201d in Russia, which survive hard times. \u201cThe business can lose its attractiveness for investors and as a consequence negatively affect the growth of Russian cinema market\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">According to the letter there are not so many Russian films which can successfully compete with Hollywood movies in distribution. The proposed amendments would not improve Russian cinematograph, rather they would affect it negatively. These amendments would destroy the established practice of movies distribution in Russia. Any movie, regardless of country of its productions, receives more than 35% of screenings in first week. After the first week the quantity of screenings for such movie is decreasing depending on its popularity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Russian ministry of culture (MinCult) proposed to set up quotas for screening of movies in cinemas in Russia.
