Theater Revenue Soars To Pre-Pandemic Level Despite Pricey Movie Tickets

Mumbai, May 28 - The Indian cinema biz went through a lot of challenges due to the covid-19 pandemic since the second quarter of 2020. The massive covid break out forced theaters to shut for nearly 1 and a half years which posed serious questions about theaters' existence. ## However, despite remaining shut for such a long time, the magic of big-screen remains unaffected as after opening their doors to viewers in the second half of 2021, theatres are back to the pre-pandemic level of collections this year. The tentpole titles of this year along with surprise blockbusters helped theaters' revenue to go up to the pre-pandemic level cinema owners are hoping that the momentum will continue throughout this year. ## "Last three months have been good for us. On average, we are clocking more than ₹1000-1500 crore every month", Inox Leisure's chief programming officer, Rajender Singh Jyala, said (via business insider) adding, "Movies RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi pushed the recovery. Before that, Kashmir Files and now with Bhool Bhulaiya 2, our footfalls and domestic ticket sales are at pre-pandemic level or even better".## With such a highly positive trend as far as theater revenue is concerned, 2022 could turn out to be a golden year for the Indian cinema industry as Rajender Singh Jyala is optimistic that the upcoming movies such as Prithviraj, Brahmastra, and Lal Singh Chaddha, among others will set the ball rolling. ## Media consulting firm Ormax Media's Partner, Gautam Jain, said, "The overall domestic box office collections have crossed the ₹4000 crores gross mark from January to April. This is the highest gross box office collection for January to April since 2018. Given this growth trajectory and looking at the line-up of films slated to release this year, a gross box office collection of ₹12,000 crore looks possible, which would make this year the highest ever in terms of the gross box office [collection]". ## While the revenue of theaters has increased significantly, the overall footfalls remain average as compared to the pre-pandemic level. Explaining why the gross box office revenue is higher than 2019 while footfalls continue to be low, Jain said, "The gross box office collections are higher due to the ticket prices being higher by 15-30% across languages. The ticket prices have increased even in south markets".## Stay tuned...

INOX staff allege forced leaves after cinema closure

New Delhi, March 14 (IANS) Soon after the Delhi government announced the closure of cinema halls and multiplexes till March 31, the staff at INOX alleged that they were being forced to sign Privilege Leave application. ## An employee requesting anonymity told IANS over the phone: "We are ready to work, it's not our fault that the government has closed down the cinema halls. ## "We are being asked to sign leave documents. It is a kind of cheating to save their expenses by not paying our salaries but the fact is that many of us are sole bread winners of our families and if such a thing happens, our daily lives would be affected badly." ## One such document accessed by IANS, read: "My name is.....working as Operations Associate in INOX Delhi Patel Nagar unuit on the payroll of GI Staffing. I need leaves from 14th March 2020 to 31st March 2020, due to some personal reasons. Kindly approve my leaves & considered as my privilege leaves. Thanks & Regards" ## Several attempts were made to contact the INOX administration over their comment on the allegations, however, authorities did not respond even after repeated attempts. ## Throwing light on the legal aspects of such a move, social activist and lawyer Amit Sahni said: "Private jobs are contractual in nature and the same are governed by the contract's terms signed between the employee and the employer. ## "If there is any clause authorising the employer to force the employees to take leave for certain period in emergent situation that has arisen in the present scenario, then the privilege leaves can be forced upon the employees." ## He further added: "But ideally, the Employer/ Cinema Owners must make payment to their hapless employees and they can claim the compensation from Delhi or Union government, which has passed notification to shut down theatres. ## "At least either employer or the government should take note of it that the Poor employees should not suffer in any this painful situation." ## The Delhi government on Thursday declared coronavirus as an epidemic and to check the spread of the coronavirus in the national capital, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that all the cinema halls will be shut down till March 31. ## "We are continuing the ongoing measures to check the spread of Coronavirus in Delhi.
