Advance bookings for the upcoming film 'Ramayana' face delays due to a revenue-sharing dispute, with distributors demanding a 60% share for the first week of release.
The launch of advance bookings for the highly anticipated film 'Ramayana' is likely to be postponed due to ongoing negotiations between producers and distributors. The primary point of contention is the revenue-sharing structure for the film's opening week.
Distributors have reportedly demanded a 60% share of the box office collections for the first week of the film's release. This demand has created a stalemate, preventing the immediate rollout of the booking system for theaters across India.
Such revenue-sharing disputes are common in the Indian film industry, particularly for major releases where distributors seek higher margins to mitigate risks associated with large-scale marketing and distribution. The delay in starting advance sales could impact the initial buzz and ticket pre-sales for the film.
Stakeholders are expected to reach a consensus soon to ensure the film's marketing campaign proceeds without further interruption. Until an agreement is finalized, the official start date for advance bookings remains uncertain.
