The PVR Inox film exhibitor is large in the operated company model (focus) owned by franchises to expand its presence beyond the meters in India, while seeking to spread its affordable luxury offer, according to its CEO, PREMOD Arorah.
The company hopes that, when developing the film exhibition infrastructure throughout the country, it provides economic benefits to local filmmakers, artists through box office receipts and supports content creation, Arora told PTI.
Through the focus model, PVR Inox provides its experience to supervise the design, development, execution and daily operations of properties developed by investors that have assets.
PVR Inox, which opened a plywood of 5 screens in Raipur last week, is depositing in the focus model to accelerate the expansion throughout the country, expanding part of the premium film formats of the cities of level 2 and level 3.
“The beginning of the focus occurred with Gwalior that opened last year and this (in Raipur) that opens at the beginning of this year (prosecutor). Now we will be ballistic about this …” said Arora.
He said the company needed to establish the SOP and Hasb’s legs work during the last three and a half years to improve the model, which is going to reduce execution time by 50 percent.
In his earnings of the third quarter, PVR Inox declared that he had signed 100 screens in 22 cinemas with 31 screens, 8 cinemas in focus and 69 screens, 14 cinemas in asset light mode.
Arora said that the next planned screens will be in the concept of affordable luxury to meet the growing demand of customers for experimental cinema.
“Every time guests spend their discretionary money they expect a luxury component. A affordable luxury as a concept does not mean it is expensive. Prices are defined by market dynamics,” Hey said.
The important thing is to give ‘experimental cinema’ that is described as affordable luxury today in the Indian context. It is like a bridge to experience not a bridge to luxury, Arora said.
By stating that more parts of India will be covered, hey, he cited the example of the northeast of India, “while they are part of Bharat larger, the entertainment opportunity have been lost.”
PVR Inox will present screens in Shillong, Gangtok and Siliguri in a similar model.
On the need to develop film exhibition infrastructure throughout India, Arora said that 92 percent of the industry, which depends on the national, regional, local and hyperlocal content, while only 8 percent of the content is imported in terms of box office.
“This content needs to have a better exhibition. There will be an economic benefit for local filmmakers and artists only when there is film infrastructure around it … Cinema is the only format in which you can get the box office that affirms the” house houses “of the box office.
