The thresholds for admissions or receipts in a given catchment area and the thresholds for admissions and receipts at national level, mentioned in article L. 212-30, are assessed by grouping together cinemas which constitute a community of economic interests. In particular, establishments operated by companies controlled directly or indirectly by common partners or shareholders are considered as such.
With the exception of the single catchment area made up of the departments of Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne, a catchment area is defined as the area of cinematographic influence defined in article R. 212-7-1.
