We write on behalf of KRS Releasing Ltd and refer to the article entitled ‘KRS accused of acting like a ‘cartel’ on ticket prices’ (The Sunday Times of Malta, January 10).

Our clients have been supplying local cinemas for a good number of years with new films, including blockbusters from leading film production houses such as Walt Disney, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers to mention but a few. This arrangement reflects our clients’ ongoing commitment to cinema operators.

Our clients wish to state that: prices were increased by Eden Cinemas even when there were no increases made by KRS; prices were not decreased by Eden Cinemas when KRS’s percentage charged was reduced; prices were increased by Eden Cinemas also for products not supplied by KRS.

KRS Releasing Ltd does not, directly or indirectly, establish the admission prices. In fact, KRS Releasing Ltd has now filed a complaint against Eden Entertainment Ltd with the Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority accusing Eden Entertainment Ltd of abusing its dominant position on the relevant market to the detriment of local consumers.
