The engine of spanish cinema
2014 was the year that saw Spanish cinema take off. A year marked by
success, with the best box office takings in its history, and one in which
Atresmedia
contributed to the production of eight feature films.
Various factors have facilitated the growing interest of the public in the
national film industry. These include not only the undeniable draw of the
films themselves, but also the enormous promotional work by the televi-
sion channels for their productions, following in the wake of Hollywood's
biggest releases.
Atresmedia Cine
has produced a total of eight feature films which to-
gether with the films released at the end of 2013 and still being shown
in cinemas this year have earned revenue of 34.9 million euros, which
represents 28.2% of the box office takings for Spanish cinema as a whole.
They have all been among the 25 top films and three of them are among
the five most seen.
