Thursdays are turning into a challenging day for theater owners. Just last week, there was a standoff over showtimes between Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> and Hanuman Ansh<\/em>. This week, the situation has intensified for single-screen cinemas as they try to fit not only these two popular films but also the new movie, Haiwaan<\/em>.<\/p>\n This is a unique situation for exhibitors. According to a trade source, there’s no real conflict here; the existing films are performing exceptionally well. Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> had a fantastic weekend and has been holding steady during the weekdays. Hanuman Ansh<\/em> also shows strong performance. The advance ticket sales for this weekend look promising in multiplexes, which adds more pressure on theaters to accommodate all three films.<\/p>\n Complicating matters further is the runtime of the films. Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> runs for 3 hours and 17 minutes, while Hanuman Ansh<\/em> is 2 hours and 30 minutes long, and Haiwaan<\/em> clocks in at 2 hours and 44 minutes. This makes it tricky for theaters to divide their showtimes effectively among the three films.<\/p>\n As of 2:30 PM on September 10, advance bookings for any of the three films haven’t begun in many single-screen theaters across Mumbai, like Plaza, Citylight, and Regal. Smaller two-screen theaters are also facing similar challenges.<\/p>\n In Thane, Anand Cinema has decided to screen only Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> throughout the day. Nishat Cinema will exclusively show Haiwaan<\/em>, while Ajanta CineX has opted for a mix: three shows of Haiwaan<\/em> and one each of Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> and Hanuman Ansh<\/em>. Meanwhile, the iconic Raj Mandir in Jaipur has scheduled Hanuman Ansh<\/em> for 9:00 AM, Haiwaan<\/em> for both 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, and Mirzapur The Movie<\/em> for 6:15 PM and 10:00 PM. It will be interesting to see how other single-screen cinemas navigate programming in the upcoming week.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thursdays are turning into a challenging day for theater owners.
