The country’s film industry traditionally sees renewed momentum during the two Eid festivals each year. While interest in theatrical releases often remains subdued for the rest of the year, filmmakers typically rush to secure Eid slots. This trend has continued for several years.

Despite Ramadan having begun, promotional campaigns for most of these films have yet to start.
