Drones Film Plea: Theatrical Struggle Amidst Competition
23 Oct
Summary
- Film team seeks more theatre screens and shows for audience reach.
- Positive audience feedback contrasts with limited screen availability.
- Release faced stiff competition from major films.
The Tamil horror-fantasy comedy 'Drones' is encountering considerable difficulty in securing sufficient theatrical exhibition, despite receiving appreciation from viewers. The film's creative producer, Satheesh, has issued an emotional appeal highlighting the team's struggle to obtain more screens and shows since its release on October 16. He expressed frustration over pleading with theatre owners daily without success, questioning how the team can showcase their talent without a proper platform.
Despite these obstacles, 'Drones' has entered its second week in theatres, albeit with very limited showings, reportedly as few as one show per day in some locations. This scarcity has impeded the film's ability to gain momentum and connect with a broader audience, particularly the young demographic it aims to entertain. The team is hopeful for improved exhibitor support as the theatrical run progresses.
The film's release on October 16, shortly after the highly anticipated 'Jailer 2', placed it in a challenging competitive landscape. Rajinikanth's film immediately commanded significant screen demand. Satheesh voiced concerns about ongoing theatre availability in the coming weeks due to new releases, further intensifying competition. The film's box-office success hinges on gaining more showtimes, and the team is eager for more moviegoers to experience 'Drones'.
