Cinema in "Stalitsa" shopping center to be closed
Financial problems are claimed to be the reason for that.
The cinema "Friendship" also faces some financial problems. General manager of "Kinovideoprokat" Vasil Koktysh has said that.
Koktysh: "Cinemas are very expensive to maintain. We do not get finance from the budget for the first time. Therefore we need to give up cinemas which do not give incomes. We are leaving the shopping center "Stalitsa". The incomes earned there were only enough to cover 20% of rent payment. The cinema "Friendship" also gives no incomes. We need to find an investor and probably to change the profile".
Let us note, the cinema in "Stalitsa" showed many art-house cinema programs.
