Why did so many producers announce the release of their big films no sooner than the Maharashtra government granted cinemas in the state permission to reopen?
– It is because these producers have waited for months together to release their big films in the cinemas. By announcing the release dates, they have, in a way, secured the dates in the hope that no other big film would release on that date.
With so much content available on OTT platforms, how do you think, films will be able to run in cinemas once normalcy returns?
– The world had feared that films would have no future in the cinemas, even when television was making inroads into people’s homes. Just like cinema survived the TV boom, it will survive the OTT boom too. There’s an audience for all kinds of entertainment.
