Actually, there is no new film to showcase before cine-goers. Many times new films fail to lure the audience to the box office then how will the old do it for multiplex owners? That too In the running shows there are only a handful of viewers can be seen.
The condition of the film industry is poor. The big producers want to release their film only when they are allowed to show the film with full capacity. Considering the situation at the moment, This status quo is expected to remain for 2-3 months. Till then, cinema halls will keep on battling.
Are audiences afraid of coming to theaters? The answer will be known only when a film featuring a big or famous star is released. If it does not get the audience, then it indicates that people are still Corona phobic.
It is not a cup of every owner to follow sanitization and the guideline of the government. Many cine owners survive on low incomes, so they cannot afford new expenses. At present, the film industry is on ventilator.
