Trust cinema The movie “The Last Snow” directed by Amirhossein Asgari has been released on the silver screen after three years (December 28).
In less than two weeks of its release, this movie is ranked 39th in the list of releases and has sold nearly 500 million Tomans.
Hassan Mostafavi – producer of the film “The Last Snow” – In an interview with ISNA about the number of cinemas and screenings for his film, he said: The number of cinemas showing our film is good, but we have not been given good screenings. It can be said that we have been given the worst screening of the cinemas, and this makes the film not sell well, for example, in some cinemas, the screening at 14:30 was allocated to our film, and this screening has a small audience.
He stated that a good screening has a positive effect on the sales of the film and stated: Considering the screenings that have been given to the movie “The Last Snow”, I don’t think we will have a good sale, out of all the screenings allocated to us, only 30% They are in good times and this has made us sell 480 million Tomans in 12 days.
This cinema producer reminded: Considering that our film has good actors and the Simorgh of the festival, we did not expect this from the sales, while we also had good advertisements for the film and so far our expectations have not been met.
Mostafavi continued to emphasize: the issue of good cinematography and the number of cinemas has an effect on sales, but apart from those social films, it has lost its audience for several years, a major part of the audience’s taste has gone towards comedy cinema, and according to the conditions of the country and The economic hardships that people sometimes suffer, if they are going to spend their free time in the cinema, they prefer to watch a comedy movie and laugh than to see a sad social movie.
He added: “When the audience’s taste goes towards comedy movies, naturally, cinema owners also try to allocate their best time to best-selling movies because they also have to get the cost of their theaters from the same place where the movies are sold.”
This movie producer further pointed to the failure of independent cinema in Iran and said: “Independent cinema in our country is being destroyed and those who make films at their own expense, like me, will gradually stop working with this sales situation.”
In another part of the conversation about his new film, Mustafavi said: I have the movie “This is not a movie” in my hand, which is in the final stages of filming. In this movie, Shahram Haqiddoost, Amir Hossein Fathi, Lili Rashidi, Nazanin Karimi and Yesna Mirtahmaseb plays the role and the director of this work is Mustafa Koshki. This film is also in the form of an independent cinema and we produced it at our own expense.
