Spanish cinema holds market share of over 20%
The second half of the year is confirming itself as an auspicious period for Spanish cinema, due to the concentration of several of the year’s strongest releases between September and December. The star titles of last weekend, when Spanish cinema achieved a market share of 22%, were Andrés Baiz’s Spanish/Colombian co-production The Bunker [+see also:
