This situation complicated matters for theater owners since <em>Awarapan 2<\/em> is also set to release on August 14. Initially, the distributors of <em>Batwara 1947<\/em> wanted seven shows a day in two-screen venues, 10 shows in three-screen multiplexes, 12 in four-screen cinemas, and 15 in five-screen multiplexes. However, recent updates indicate a change in their stance.<\/p>\n<p>A source from the exhibition industry mentioned that the previous requirement for 60% to 70% of shows to be given to <em>Batwara 1947<\/em> has been revised. Now, they have agreed to a 50-50 arrangement for both films, taking into account the concerns of the exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>This new 50-50 deal is expected to apply to single-screen cinemas as well, although many single-screen theaters are still in the process of reopening bookings. One notable exception is the famous Raj Mandir Cinema in Jaipur, which has allocated two shows each to <em>Awarapan 2<\/em> and <em>Batwara 1947<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, theater owners are now facing new pressure from another film. The distributors of <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> recently contacted cinemas, requesting that it continue to be shown extensively. They have specified a minimum of two daily screenings in single-screen venues, with rising demands for more shows as the number of screens increases. For example, they want at least three daily screenings in two-screen theaters and up to 12 shows in larger multiplexes.<\/p>\n<p>With <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> performing well at the box office\u2014reportedly making around Rs. 9 crores recently\u2014distributors feel confident in their requests. However, this leaves exhibitors in a tough spot, trying to balance showing all three films without upsetting any distributors.<\/p>\n<p>An exhibitor from Nawalgarh, speaking anonymously, expressed frustration over the ongoing struggle to allocate shows fairly among distributors. &#8220;We always face this issue while hoping to keep everyone satisfied. It makes us wonder when this situation will come to an end,&#8221; they shared.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 10, it was reported that PVR Inox Pictures, the distributors of Batwara 1947, requested all showtimes in single-screen theaters.
