South Korea plans to introduce a ceiling on the number of movie screens that can be allotted for a single film in order to prevent big-budget blockbusters from monopolizing movie theaters, and to provide an equal chance to low-budget domestic films.<br />As part of a broader plan to promote the local film industry, the Culture Ministry said Monday that they will try to seek a revision of the current law, so that a maximum of 40 to 50 percent of the total screens during peak periods can be used to show the same movie.<br />Under the new roadmap,... the ministry said they will also set up a fund of nearly 20-million U.S. dollars,... to help finance creative works by small and medium-sized film productions in a bid to diversify the local film industry.<br />
