![]() ![]() Unlike a multiplex, a single-screen movie hall is rented out, and a distributor can expect to make profit only after that rent is covered by ticket sales.Įxplaining how it works, Marathi film distributor Sameer Dixit said: "For instance, for the Bharat Mata Cinema Hall at Lalbaug, the weekly rent is Rs30,000. While in a multiplex the distributor can take away 45 per cent of the revenue generated from ticket sales, in case of a single-screen movie hall, the profit depends on whether the theatre is packed with audience. Marathi film-makers, producers and distributors are more dependent on the multiplexes because of the profit-sharing model. But it was abruptly taken off the multiplexes just to accommodate Hindi releases." Sarpotdar's film Mitwa, which was released in 2014, also got a very good response, but the film was taken off the multiplexes for Hindi films. It was getting screened at 225 theatres, which increased to 300 theatres across Maharashtra. ![]() Citing an example, Sanjay Jadhav, who directed the film Duniyadari (2014), said, "My friend Aditya Sarpotdar's film Classmate was released in February. More than often a Marathi film gets pulled out of the multiplex only to give way to Hindi and English movies. ![]()
