An exhibitor may opt for the specialisation of a cinema provided that the majority of its programming, during the cinematographic quarter preceding that in which the option is exercised, consists of cinematographic or audiovisual works or documents of a pornographic nature appearing, as such, on the list provided for in Article L. 311-2.
For cinemas whose period of activity does not cover an entire cinematographic quarter, their reference programming covers the cinematographic or audiovisual works or documents represented from the day they open until the start of the cinematographic quarter during which the option is exercised.
When an operator of a cinema is not the owner of the business or, in the absence of a business, of the building housing the cinema(s) of this establishment, the specialisation of a cinema can only result from a joint decision of the operator and the owner of the business or of the building.
For the application of the provisions of this sub-section, a cinema quarter constitutes a sequence of thirteen cinema weeks within the meaning of 5° of Article D. 212-67.
