Hike In Ticket Prices For Chennai Express And OUATIM Dobara!

We are almost there! The two of the biggest releases of the year, at the biggest time of the year are less that two weeks from now. Where at one place it is certain that every movie fan will rush to watch the movies in the theaters, the sad news is that the prices of tickets will make it a little costly experience. The owners of the multiplexes are definitely going to hike the ticket rates this Eid.

Vishal Anand, senior vice-president, operations, Fun Cinemas says, "The jump during weekdays is largely due to the reduced pricing for films that lack in strong content." Currently, the weekday pricing in city multiplexes is about 110.

"Prices are hiked at the time of big-film releases. Traditionally, Eid has been a very strong period as far as admits are concerned. During that one week of Eid, we expect to do more than half the month's business. A week after Chennai Express, we have Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara releasing, so August is going to be the strongest month as far as business is concerned. Shah Rukh Khan is hitting theatres after a year and history shows that Rohit Shetty's films have not gone wrong at the box office. We hope to make merry at the window," he adds.

Well let us hope that Chennai Express does break the record of Ek Tha Tiger!
