THE CINEMA THAT BRAZIL DESERVES State participation As we have seen, Brazilian films cannot depend on ancillary markets (which, outside Brazil, make up for the rapid passage of films through cinema theatres), and thus we can understand how, once again, Brazil has to be content with inadequate commercial exploitation that falls far short of realizing its potential. Cinema theatres all over the world have become shop windows that determine the value of each film in the ancillary markets. Canal Plus, for example, the largest cable channel in Europe, purchases films in accordance with a pricing chart that takes into consideration the performance of each film in the cinema theatre market, and establishes a price three and a half times lower than the average price for films that have not gone on general release.

It is worth mentioning an observation usually made by directors of American distribution companies, that Latin-American and European producers would take more of their market share if they improved the quality of their films. This diagnosis, which certainly refers to a real problem, does not fully comprehend the reality of Latin-American cinema. Because it lacks the conditions for competitive equality in its own market, it is very difficult to create the circumstances in which its quality can be improved.

This is the reason why, nowadays, films show for such short periods of time at the cinema, generating about 40 per cent of their revenue during their first week. Since there is a bottleneck of films in each cinema theatre, each awaiting its opening night, films are not shown for long enough to attain their expected box-office receipts or to realize their income potential. But because, with this system, the general box-office income increases, this commercial distortion is perpetuated in a vicious circle.
