French cinema promotional body Unifrance has released a detailed report into the immediate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the release of French films around the world, drawing on data from its weekly box office reports.
“Normally, in any given week there will be around 250 separate release campaigns going on for French films in some shape or form in some 50 territories around the world,” said Unifrance deputy managing director Gilles Renouard, who also oversees the body’s box office research.
“Last week, only four of the territories we monitor remained open: South Africa, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden.”
