YOUR SAY: Will you watch a film on a single screen?

We would love to hear from you on the producers versus multiplex owners’ standoff

AND the verdict is out: the producers versus multiplex standoff continues.

At a meeting in Mumbai on May 5, producers and multiplex owners were to bang heads to find the last thread of a solution for the ongoing strike. It was not to be. Producers walked out of the meet when the multiplex owners reportedly insisted on the same percentage they demanded in January this year.

Producers then threatened to release their films only in single screens. The United Producers and Distributors Association head Mukesh Bhatt said more producers would follow suit.

Multiplex owners were unmoved. "They're bluffing. Let one big film come for release," said one owner, who was on the phone receiving news of the talks breakdown. "They will surrender. There is no way that the multiplex audience would see movies in those halls."

Our question to you is, do you think audiences will watch a film on a single screen because they have been starved of a new release since April 3, when the strike began? And the bigger question: would YOU watch a film at a single screen theatre?

Tell us! We would love to hear from you!

I dont mind a single screen..... i think during recession time single screen theatres are 100 times better!!! :D

why do these people in this industry forget that not very long ago, we were all watching movies only in single hall theatres, they did make money then as well, shun the dam multiplex owners, dont give them rights if they want to make all the money, they will come to track!!!

I dont care about anything, I just want new movies in the theatres near, and single-multi halls dont bother us, this is all the more reason to help the good old talkies and its far less expensive...

I think this strike is just ruining a lot of lives... its recession guys, lets SAY NO to greedy multiplex owners... who charge us double over weekends and holidays, just coz there is demand, lets curb the demand, lets go back to basics... lets just entertain ourselves...

If the movie review is really good...I would not mind to watch the film on a single screen.

As long as we get to watch movies, it really doesn't matter. It's movies that make multiplexes not the other way round and multiplex owners should keep this is mind before going ahead and making ridiculous demands.
