Single-screen cinemas are reluctant to reopen over unresolved revenue sharing with producers/distributors
It’s official. There won’t be any screening of films at the single-screen cinemas in Mysuru city as they have continued to remain shut despite the Centre allowing 100 per cent capacity, easing all curbs that were prevalent since over 10 months post-COVID-19.
The reason: the impasse between exhibitors and producers/distributors over the sharing of revenue.
While the exhibitors are seeking weekly revenue sharing on percentage terms, the producers are insisting on fixed charges like it has been there for many years. They are not keen to make any change to the model though the exhibitors are citing loss and negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on their earnings for seeking modification.
