Cinemas Deserted As Audience Awaits Release Of Indian Films

[Kabira]

With paltry 160+ you should aim to increase the theaters into four figures. With 200 million population don't you think that number is very very low???

To give you an idea about how much revenue is generated, just look at number of screens in our neighbourhood.
Indian cinema sells about 1 billion more tickets than hollywood. China sells as many as hollywood.

According to wiki....
India in 2012 had about 12000 single screens and 1200 multiplexes and the numbers are going up every year with new multiplexes cropping up everywhere.
Bangladesh has about 400 screens.
China in 2014 had about 23000 screens and counting.
Pakistan has about 309 screens.

Pakistan actually have around 85 or 100 screens now not 309. Pakistan used to have 750 screens back in 80's. Anyway this number is increasing again, in couple of months new malls in Lahore will add 18 screens. Single screens no longer exist in Pakistan, all are multiplexes with ticket prices starting from Rs500.

Hope so.

I just hope they don't change plans now after ban of Indian films. Rasalpur is also in KPK near Nowshera.

"Cinepax aims to open 150 screens till 2020 in Pakistan under their "Vision 2020" plan with the experience of Platinum, Gold, Silver, 4DX, Dolby Atmos and CMAXX formats. Cinepax will expand their network to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Hyderabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Peshawer, Quetta, Jhehlum, Rasalpur, Wah Cantt, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot and Murree. Cinepax will open 35 screens alone in Karachi under "Vision 2020". Lahore 33 screens, Faisalabad 17 screens and Islamabad with 12 screens are other cities where more than 10 screens will be opened in a single city by Cinepax."

Waqai.. ab single screen ka dor gya. at least, Pakistan me to aaj kal multiplexes he ban rahay hay. and it's a good trend.

This is the character of this nation. Dont care what people say. indian people express absolute hate towards anything remotely related to pakistan and pakistanis are busy watching their trashy movies. During musharaf time it was the same, same in zia time.

 

[Well.wisher]

Seriously what use movies have for pakistan especially indian movies ?
It's a shame that rather than putting our interest in quran and our religion we've diverted to these faahishah and useless movies . What use is these indian movies who can't protect itself from the politics and extremist hindus , such a weak industry and we give it status of God .

Mostly movies are useless , only 100 in one movies are worth to watch like khuda k liye , bol, pk , 3 idiots , bajrangi
They all carried a good massage but pk invited political tensions and hindu extremists .
Other kind of movies carry crap spreading fahishah and stupid love stories .
Since we're habitual of indian movies , that's why the cinemas are deserted but after sometime all will be well and pakistani will forhet indian movies and stars in sha Allah . Indian movies are never productive .
I guess Hollywood movies are more beneficial since it carry technology , action , English, and less love stories and indecency .

This is exactly what Pakistanis thought back in 1971 when banned Indian films, then what happened ??Pakistan film industry was destroyed and Indian film Industry flourished during the period. And it was only after 2006 when the ban on Indian movies were lifted that Pakistan film Industry started to show some revival.

What does this imply ?? No one can impose their wishes on others while they are free to choose their means of entertainment.

Indian movies are never productive .

Movies are meant to be entertaining first and then productive. I'm sure the masses would prefer to watch an entertaining masala over an offbeat art masterpiece.

I guess Hollywood movies are more beneficial since it carry technology , action , English, and less love stories and indecency .

LOL did you really mean that Hollywood movies have less indecency ?? Well, then I would love to know your definition of decency.
