The amount of direct allocations is calculated once a year by applying a flat rate of 57 euro cents per paid admission, corresponding to the screening of the work or programme, made during the calendar year preceding the one during which this calculation is made, as soon as the total number of admissions made during this calendar year reaches the threshold of 1,500.
Admissions are taken into account for a period of five years from the first commercial performance subject to the provisions relating to the control of cinematographic exhibition receipts provided for in 3° of article L. 212-32 of the Code du cinéma et de l’image animée.
