Theater owners are unhappy with the clash of three films
A single screen theater owner has expressed displeasure over the clash of three films. What was the need to release three films on the same day, he says? We are facing problems in programming. He wants ‘Stree 2’ to be shown in all the shows because of the demand. But this will upset the distributors of the remaining two films. Why do we always need to worry? Currently, many single screen theaters have started booking only for the paid previews of Stree 2, which will take place on August 14.
Gaiety, Mumbai’s cinema complex, has opened bookings for ‘Stri 2’ and Ved in Galaxy. But the booking of ‘Stree 2’ was canceled on August 12, due to which people were visibly upset. However, on the afternoon of August 13, bookings started again. At the same time, the problem persists in theaters with two screens. One screen will be for ‘Stree 2’ and the rest will be for ‘Ved’ and ‘Khel Khel Mein’, an official said. The team of ‘Ved’ is asking for three shows, meaning their advance is better than that of ‘Khel Khel Mein’.
