The recent spike in admissions to domestic films (read the news) foreshadowed the fact that Slovakian films are picking up steam after the record-breaking year of 2017 (read the news) and a second successful run in 2018 (read the news). According to the Slovak Union of Film Distributors, domestic productions managed to attract 392,098 theatregoers in the first half of 2019. That is 141,000 more admissions sold to Slovakian films than the attendance of domestic productions for the entire 2018.
