what are the advantages and disadvantage?
Advantages:
Even at Rs 50 a ticket in Chennai (Cheaper outskirts), it would be economical for families to come to theaters.
This in turn contributes to more audiences coming to theaters to watch movies
Indirectly cuts down illegal VCD/DVD, as watching a movie in theaters has become cheaper !
We may re witness to the good old days of movies genuinely running 100-175+ days due to the increased numbers of people coming to theaters.
Movie collections would no longer depend on the 'opening' factor, even movies that dont get a good opening can pick up later on and still make profits.
The salaries of actors would come down. I always felt that actors were being paid a lot more than they truly deserve.
Small movies will thrive
Disadvantages:
Quality multiplexes would have to look somewhere else for business. Satyam, and the soon to enter PVR and INOX which provide good movie going experience would be forced to cut down on quality. They would also lose their charm as they would be catering to a whole new different set of crowds, going forward.
Parking and Movie hall food prices would be hiked considerably
AC's may go off after interval:)
Overall collections of movies would certainly drop. Even though the number of audiences increase, theater and multiplexes lose out on the opening and the exorbitant ticket prices they used to charge
Big budget films may dwindle in number.
THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE : At last, big actors like Rajini will lose money and this can help youths like Jeeva and Bharath!! :thumbsup: :clap:
I don't think the sudden reduction in ticket prices will pull family audiences to the theatres :huh:
The disadvantages are more and there is not even a single advantage with this:
Directors and everyone in the industry feel that it is because of the ticket prices families are not coming to the theatres. Well. IT may be one among the N reasons why they are not coming to the theatres.
Our family audiences are caught up in MEGA SERIALS which roll out tons of crap everyday ! Except a few serials many are repeatitive and not so good ! But inspite of that our ladies seem to be interested in this !
No chance they will abandon their mega serial schdules and will come to the theatres.
It starts right from 11.am and ends at 11pm. During this time, at what time they will come to the theatres ? :huh:
They can come to theatres during weekends. But even then they have other things which are much cheaper when compared to theatres. Right ! :)
Instead of reducing ticket prices, Our CM can put an end to MEGA SERIALS. I think the industry will benefit a lot from this. But will he do it ? I don't think so coz SUN NETWORK's backbone is mega serials :wink:
One advantage is there for me :
I spent more than Rs.600/- for Varalaaru to watch it 6 times. With the new ticket price reduction, I can watch AALVAAR atleast 6 times in TN with just Rs. 180/- :wink: :P
I love you da cheLLam :lol:Quote:

I doubt if PVR,INOX,IMAX will want to come to TN if they are forced to sell at such low rates.Even Sathyam Cinema's will not be able to maintain quality.AC's will be always off(what with commercial electricity rates being sold at such a high rate).I doubt if this plan will work as even at 50/-,a family of four will shell out Rs 200/- for ticket prices,another 100 for travel&maybe another 100/- for eatables-Total cost: Rs 400/-( much higher than VCD/DVD rentals)
Big budget films like 10 A,Sivaji will be badly hit.
Also,when has high ticket prices acted as a deterrant?Ppl who c annot afford such high prices wait for all the hype&initial buzz to die down&then go to watch the movie.
wrote my mind.....similarly, govt should slash air time fee for the ads that appear on SUNTV and other satellite channels.....if they are now taking 1lakh/minute then they have to reduce it to 10,000/minute.......sounds cool isnt it??Quote:

y the heck they have to poke their nose in each and everything.......how will multiplexes flourish in such strict environment........yes i'm a multiplex man......and i'm proud of it.........i cant imagine sitting in ottta odasal chair bearing the bug bites in small theatres anymore......multiplex is not only abt viewing cinema but its a place for social gathering.......if they are going to kill it then "nalla illa" avalavudhan solliten.....
girish, thalaivar, became a superstar when balcony tickets used to be sold at Rs.5..........so with this trend it will be small podiyans who will be affected and not our "malai"....... Malai da, Annamalai
There is one advantage :
PUblic will have to pay less
Disadvantage :
U cant see more quality stuff hereafter as producer will try to be stingy in production values
who cares about whether the actors and producer gain or lose.........our duty is to watch the movie..........we are the public and it is total advantage for us...........Quote:

i don't understand ticket price theory...and i'm not going to read these posts..
Just because 30 rupees food is costly fpor u will u eat 5 rupees kaaka biryani? :)
Same way if ticket rates come down by this rate... the producer wont involve in making the technical team of the movie stronger :) :roll:

Will Mayajaal sell tickets at Rs 15?
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 26 December , 2006, 20:13
Mayajaal multiplex on ECR on the way to Mahabalipuram is one of the most popular getaways for up market young IT crowd in Chennai. The six- screen multiplex (seating capacity- 960) has the highest admission rate in Tamilnadu- Rs 150 to 200. Still on week-ends it clocks 90 to 95 percent occupancy!
The big news is that from January 1st, 2007 as per the new government order, Mayajaal will have to sell their tickets at Rs 15! Ridiculous it may sound, but unfortunately Mayajaal falls in a Panchayat area in Kancheepuram district, where as per the Tamilnadu government order the highest ticket rate there can only be only Rs 15!
The multiplex is currently the “Collection King” among theatres in NSC area. Recently Vetayadu Vilayadu, created a record there by collecting a distributors share of Rs 25 Lakhs. Now it will be a miracle of sorts if the Pongal releases like Pokiri or Aalwar collects a share of Rs 1.50 or 2 Lakhs from Mayajaal, with the new rates coming into effect from Jan 1st.
Now the big question is- Will Mayajaal close down? It is impossible to run the multiplex on the proposed new rates, as it will not be sufficient to run their AC plant! And the up market exclusivity of the theatre also vanishes. Above all it will be Tamil film collections that are going to be badly hit!
An emergency meeting of the distributors association and producers of Pongal Films are to be held on 28 Dec. The distributors of NSC area will demand an exemption for Mayajaal, as it is the goose that lays the golden egg for them. But the Tamilnadu government is unlikely to exempt any theatre in the state from the new admission rates.
A few days back, a very influential exhibitor in the state had tried to work out an exemption for his multiplex with one of the bigwigs in the state government. However the person concerned made it clear that nobody will go against the wishes of the Chief Minister and the new admission rates will be implemented.
i'm too lazy to read about advantages and disadvantages.... :wink:Quote:

With this, they hope that people will come to theatres since the price is less. They are analysing the disadvantages and advantages with this
Hope it is clear for u now :roll:
it's clear now... :) :lol: all i care is that aalwar beats pokiri :lol2:Quote:

By June 2007, he would have crossed the magic figure of 100 screens when he opens the swanky x 7 seven-screen PVR Ampa centre at Ampa Centre One Mall at the junction of Nelson Manickam-Poonamalee high road in Chennai.
Much before PVR set foot in Chennai, But before PVR arrives in Chennai, the four-screen Inox at Citi Centre Mall in Radhakrishna Salai is due to open by Pongal 2007. And by 2010, Chennai and its suburbs are poised for a multiplex explosion as nearly 100 new screens are likely to be added to the existing ones. screens! 9Ithu nadakkuma!!!)
Meanwhile, 15 to 20 new malls are coming up in Chennai, in areas like- Egmore, Kilpauk, Woods road, Poonamalee High Road (3), 100 feet road, Vadapalani-Saligramam (3), Mint, OMR, ECR, and the suburbs.
All major players in the multiplex business like PVR, Inox, Adlabs, Shringar and Sathyam want a piece of the cake.
The six-screen Mayajaal on ECR, which says it is the first multiplex in the south, is now in the process of adding three more screens. by next summer.
says Udeep.B, CEO Mayajaal entertainment: "I think one of the best collecting multiplex outside Chennai is our complex. Now we are adding more screens including a state-of-the-art 54-seater luxurious all gold class designer screen, where corporates and individuals can hold shows of films of their choice. It will be the first ‘movie-on-demand' theatre."

First of all, most of the theatres do not switch on the a/c full time. They gradually switch it off once the movie starts. Also the parking rates of 2 & 4 wheelers are high. Plus they themsleves arrange persons to sell tickets in black.
So, I guess the theatres will not be affected in any way.
Maybe satyam & mayajal. But how many multiplexes we have here?
Yup SS!.. The cost of Maayajal is so high for this factor also. Illaina pakkathula irukkira kuppathu aalunga Maayajaala naaradichiruvanga...
About Forthcoming AMPA CENTER (PVR screens)
"The Ampa Centre One is a fully integrated mall at a total cost of over Rs. 50 crore…[] is spread over three acres with a total built up area of over six lakhs square feet. The mall [It] will boast of a hypermarket, three floors of retail, a food mall, and a 20-room boutique hotel with a bar. And the highlight will be the seven-screen PVR, with a seating capacity of 1818 seats."
Sify has an article on this. mayajaal has to reduce the ticket rates to Rs.15 it seems. Sounds rubbish
iam sure govt will be forced to retake this rule
Discounts please!

The heat is on. The distributors of Pongal releases mainly-Aalwar, Pokiri and Thamarabharani has asked for a reduction in rates to their respective producers, following the government decision to slash admission rates.
A leading distributor/ production house who had taken Pokiri at a record price of Rs 4.50 crore for the lucrative NSC area, has now backed out of the deal. The distributor at that time had boasted that it was the highest ever price since Chandramukhi which was snapped for a record Rs 5.75 Crore for NSC area.
Similarly Aalwar, was given at Rs 2.75 , for NSC but now the distributor wants a price cut. The distributors are asking for a 30 to 50 percent price reduction, which the producers are not willing. It is simple- they cannot go back and claim a proportionate reimbursement from the stars for money already paid!
Actually the stars and technicians are raving about producers of both the films ,Ramesh Babu and Mohan Natrajan, for their prompt and correct payment In fact Ajit and Vijay are keen to give priority dates to these producers in future for their next ventures.
Meanwhile the Tamilnadu distributors association has called for an emergency meeting, to sort out the Pongal release payment problem with producers of the films. The crucial meeting which in a way will decide the fate of Pongal releases is to take place in Chennai on Thursday, Dec 28.

I dont think so. Shivaji and 10A's reach is not just for Tamil audiencs. Both Kamal and Rajini's movies does very well in Andhra if the movie is good/hit in Tamil.Quote:

There is no need for mentioning abt overseas market.
And 10A they would be releasing in Hindi too. So i dont think they will compromise on the quality of the movie at this point of time.
Very good rule by the govt....... 8-)
