Fierce competition at the box office
During the current Eid al-Fitr season, cinemas are witnessing fierce competition between four new films, amidst a noticeable audience turnout that reflects the box office recovery. The film “Barshama” topped the revenue list, continuing to achieve record numbers since its release, while the film “Egy Best” was among the films that achieved a remarkable presence, along with “Family Business,” which is strongly competing for the top spots. The film “Safah Al Tagamoa” also returned to the competition after its re-release in cinemas, attempting to regain its place among the highest-grossing films after a period of absence following its previous withdrawal from cinemas.
