What will be the impact of reverting to the eight-week exclusive theatrical window for new film releases in place of the temporary four-week window?
– The film trade is hoping that because of the lengthier window, the number of footfalls in cinemas will go up markedly, especially in the initial days of a film’s release. There’s a difference between having to wait for a month for the film to arrive on an OTT platform and waiting for two months. On the other hand, streaming platforms will pay producers lesser for the digital rights of films because they will be streamed after double the time compared to what is happening today.
