Recently Malaysian Film Producers Association's proposal of increasing Hollywood movies' ticket price to RM20 per person at all the cinema throughout Malaysia has been accepted by Malaysian Government.
Do you think that this proposal will help in local movie's industry boost? From what I understand, they came out with this proposal hoping that local people will support or watch Malaysian made movie more instead of imported movie due to the ticket price's difference. Personally, I find this proposal hillarious and I wonder who initialized this idea or proposal. And the funny thing is, someone really thinks that it will works and that is why it has been approved!
Come on la.. talking about economy wise, who will go to cinema to watch movie anymore if it cost you RM20 per movie?!?! If a couple go to the cinema how much will it cost? Simple maths can tell. 2 x RM20 = RM40 + RM15 (Pop corn & drink) = RM55. RM55 to be spent for a movie? in this kind of economy downturn time?!
The next thing you will observe... this proposal is actually a boost not to the local movie industry, but pirated DVD industry.. I can immagine that the pirated DVD business owner is actually saying thank you to the MFPA & government for such an impliment...
