Will Our Theaters Follow China Rule
By: Tupaki Desk | 2 April 2020 6:41 AM GMT
The Film lovers across India are waiting desperately for an announcement regarding the opening of Theaters after the lockdown ends. In the outbreak of Corona Virus, the Indian government has called for a national lockdown for 21 days and thus men and women were bound to stay at home itself.
It is a common practise everywhere in India to go far a movie in the weekend, Now that the Theaters have been closed; everyone is waiting for entertainment at least after the lockdown. It is to be seen whether the Central Government gives a notice towards it.
Trade pundits in the Movie Industry are saying that this lockdown may go further up to May 1 and until then we may not expect governments to allow Theaters to open. Some say even after May 1, there are high chances that the pandemic spreads through mass gatherings and thus governments may think of other choices or rules about Theaters.
In China, recently they have opened the Theaters by decreasing the occupancy to 25% capacity of the Theater. For suppose if the Theater has 350 seats, now it has to allow only 85 people to watch the film. In this way Theaters may be opened in India too but that will be a huge loss for the Theaters and Producers of new films. This rule somehow works wonders for small movies that are desperately in need of Theaters to show case their talent. Let's see what the Indian govt. decides!
