Did anyone manage to get their movie released in 600-700 theatres?
How about 200 theatres in US?
I suppose you are in US bay area still. Did any other movie open as big as Lingaa in the recent past?
From wherever I am I can see no one even close....
Did you watch those videos (Red pix) by that Singaravelan? Don't you see there is an agenda behind it?
Sare Vedungea Sir !! Unnecessary attention to a very stupid business model. Bigger the Bubble the harder the crash (Business Management 101)
Producer sells it for say 120 Crs with production cost of 80 Crs
Tier 1 Distributor either tries to release it on their own (with MGs with exhibitors or option 2 Sell it to Tie2
Tie 2 same thing
it goes on and on , the final guy who gets it is left a product which includes profit margin for all above the food chain !!
Best thing for Indian cinema would be companies like Eros or Sun Networks releasing these movies on their own rather than these fly by nite local/ regional distribution house.
Let them start building a transparent networks among rural exhibitors. Have tighter legal agreements etc.
In all this non-sense of 500 Cr , 1000 Cr how much of black is getting mixed with actual revenue of the movie? No one will ever know
My onions and Signature changes according to my desperate need to be in lime light as the BIG Brother :0 - just saying..

Last weekend I watched it in Kumbakonam-Thanjavur district. TICKET price was 100 and 150. (200 and 250 for first 2 weeks)still they are giving reservation coupons without ticket price. All are illegal. How can they show profit or loss with this model?

There is one news that in the month of Nov/Dec 2014 just before the release of Lingaa, Rajini's elder brother had told media in the press meet in Trichy that the TN govt shouldn't go against Karnataka while constructing dams. There was huge outcry against Rajini's elder brother then. something fishy and some connection?
why would these distributors/theatre owners pull Rajini into this matter? he is not the producer, right?

These guys are funny. AVM and SUN network were very careful dealing with these guys. So they could not claim anything against Sivaji or Enthiran. Now they started again!
It needs to be dealt as a "business"!
Rajini or producers should not allow these guys to win this time!
Yeah, they lost money. SO WHAT? Dont cry that I got money here and there for high interest and all that nonsense.
Why are you so greedy?? Pay the price for that!
This is a very big world!

Distributors should be blamed for accepting to such a "Greedy" business model of producers. Distributors are asked to pay a high non-refundable amount for the film and in return only gets a commission of 10% that goes beyond the deposit paid. What kind of a greedy business model this by the producers. But once signed up, distributors have less rights to cry foul now. Pity these guys, really!

It is a business agreement. EROS have got insurance too. I dont think these guys can win. They can only make Rajini looks like a bad guy!

Of course, these guys can't take this case legally. But, they will try to arm twist using their red card etc. Also, can emotionally blackmail rajni as rajni might not wish to spoil his name at this time of his career. Having said that, the distributors also have no option. Kandhu vattikku panam vangi kuduthurupainga!! Its solely because of their own mistake in accepting to all terms of the producer.
