83 screen sharing issues continue; Reliance asks for 70% revenue share in Week 1 from single screens; Monday business of Spider-Man and Pushpa weakens their bargaining power

Image
The press show of  83  was held yesterday and it met with a roaring response. The verdict by the press has made it clear that the film is sure to find acceptance among audiences. Sadly, the screen sharing issues have still not been resolved, making many in the industry fear that this fine piece of cinema might suffer due to a faulty distribution strategy. For those who are not aware of the issue, here’s a lowdown. Reliance Entertainment, which is distributing  ’83 , has asked exhibitors that only their film should be played in cinema halls for the next two weeks, that is, till January 6, 2022. If exhibitors will agree to this demand, they’ll have to discontinue playing last week’s  Spider-Man: No Way Home   and Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 , both of which are doing fabulous business. Not just that, they also won’t be able to play  Jersey , which releases on December 31. The Shahid Kapoor-starrer is being distributed by PEN Marudhar and they are also releasi...
