Not to disturbs one another’s business, producers of Bengal Tiger, Shankarabaranam and Size Zero have now come to an understanding that they will space out their films properly. So, Size Zero will release on Nov 27th, Shankarabaranam on Dec 4th and Bengal Tiger on 10th as per their plan. That’s good. But is this a good move for industry?
If all these big movies plan like One movie per week, then we will be seeing only 50 movies in a year. When nearly 200 films are being made to release in Telugu industry, on what equation this spacing really helps out is the question. In a minimum town, there are 8 theatres at least.
So, these kind of Size Zeroes and Shankarabaranams won’t be releasing in all the number of theatres but only in 1 or 2 theatres. In that case, what’s the problem if they release together? Except the fact that they may not get prime time everyday on TV channels to promote their films, there is nothing to lose if released collectively or separately.
If more films are released every week, then the percentage of audiences watching movies will shoot up. Otherwise, if people are spoon-fed with only 1 movie in 1 week kind of agenda, they may completely ignore movies and depend on TVs and other entertainment. If movie-watchers percentage is killed, then first the trade circuit, buyers and eventually Film Industry will get killed.
