As audiences are gluing to Television sets at their homes, theater owners are facing tough time to run the shows. About 10 percent of theaters in Andhra Pradesh are closed temporarily.
“Theaters never faced this much lack of patronage. Cricket matches are taking away the audiences’ attention. And on the day Indian team plays, not a single person is coming to the theaters in small towns. Rather than running the theaters for 20 or 30 members, it is better not to exhibit the film. That way power and other maintenance charges can be saved. Now exhibitors voluntarily closed the theaters for time being till the matches end or summer big releases come in,” said a leading exhibitor in Nizam area.
