| Failure of star-stadded
films worries exhibitors  The president of the Theatre Owners Association, UA Thadani, has expressed concern over the failure of several star-studded films like Jeans and Duplicate, which were really being counted upon by exhibitors to boost the box-office collections, especially Duplicate. Thadani cited the example of an exhibitor who released the Shah Rukh-starrer Duplicate in Gujarat and lost an estimated Rs 30 lakhs. According to him, the past three months have been really trying for the exhibition sector. “A majority of exhibitors have been ruined with their business equation really going wrong. Most of them are worried because they are releasing only one film a week, due to the shortage of films. Earlier there were 2-3 releases a week, and the losses used to be compensated partly by one or the other film but that’s not the case any more,” he disclosed.
