How far, and fast, will Morocco’s box office fall?
Bedeviled by a DVD boom, satellite TV and piracy — though the Moroccan government is cracking down on DVD duplication outfits, says CCM director Nour-Eddine Sail — total admissions tumbled 56% from 10.8 million in 2002 to 4.8 million in 2005.
That is really too bad, and stands in stark difference too the US where attendance has been steadily falling, but at a much slower pace. I wonder how much of the attendance losses are due to legal consumption of media through other means, which is not good but seems inevitable, and how much is due to piracy.
