Only 2% watch biggest hits in theatres, calls movie business model faulty: Aamir Khan at WAVES Summit


Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on Friday said, there are not enough movie screens in India as only 2 per cent of the population or roughly 3 crore people, watch the biggest hits in theatres. He also said, the business model of movies in India currently is very faulty and there needs to be a longer waiting period between theatrical release and OTT release.

Mr Khan was addressing a panel discussion during the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit – WAVES in Mumbai. The actor said, India only has 9 thousand 200 screens while the United States, with a far lower population, has 40 thousand screens and China with 90 thousand screens. Mr Khan also applauded WAVES for helping the nation become a leader in media and entertainment.
