*The financial year ends on 31 March each year
Third quarter activity has generated a consolidated revenue of €47 million, which is at a level equivalent to the revenue produced during the first half year of the current financial year, due to the films releases during the quarter. Revenue under the heading of "Cinema, France" totals €13.8 million for the period (releases of Fashion Victim, The Concert, In the Beginning, and Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard), although box office figures are lower than expected.
The France Television sales, totalling €10 million, are based on the opening of 4 major broadcast windows including Taxi 4 and Go Fast, as well as the sales from the Roissy Films catalogue.
International sales (€6.7 million), corresponding in particular to the first deliveries of Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard, continue to be affected by the liquidity crisis impacting foreign distributors. Nevertheless, international sales will be particularly high for the fourth quarter taking into account all the new films due for release.
"Other activities" (€7.4 million) is mainly based on licenses and partnerships.
The French video sales figures amount to €6.1 million due to the good performance of Ong Bak 2 and of the catalogue.
