DEAD: Fitoor shows allocated to Deadpool
Here's the latest update from the world of Bollywood. We bet you wouldn't want to miss this. Read on for details... Imagine Katrina, Aditya, Gattu, and above all Disney UTV's plight
Not expected, but it has happened. Several multiplexes have reduced the number of shows of UTV's Fitoor. No prizes for guessing why.
The beneficiary is Deadpool, which has done commendably despite having a U certificate.
An official from Fun Cinemas (Andheri) told SpotboyE, "We released Fitoor with 9 shows on Friday, but reduced the shows to 8 on Saturday itself. Now, we have only 5 shows. How can I justify my running cost with the poor revenue we are getting from this film? Deadpool is now running in more shows than before. We registered 80 per cent occupancy in Deadpool on Friday, whereas we could not cross 18 per cent with Fitoor on the same day."
PVR Cinema says, "We had no option but to bring down the shows of Fitoor almost all over India. The film has not done well at all.."
A leading distributor (on request of anonymity) says, "Fitoor has turned out to be another Bombay Velvet. Clearly, the multiplexes had miscalculated its prospects."
