Last year was a bad one for
Italian films at the box office, with ticket sales down 46.35%
with respect to 2016, taking them down to 16,880,223, and
revenues down 44.21%, according to Mercato Cinematografico 2017
data.
It said that 2017 was also a bad year for Italian cinema
revenues in general, which were 11.63% down.
Italian films' share of domestic market cinema revenues was
17.64%, the lowest for the last four years.
It is necessary to bear in mind that 2016 was an exceptional
year for Italian films, with Checco Zalone's Quo Vado taking
65.3 million euros and Paolo Genovese's Perfetti Sconosciuti
taking 17.3 million.
