Picture Time Presentation

India loves movies..

  • Largest number of movies released in the world ( 1600 + movie releases).

  • Number 1 entertainment option for people in India with 1.93 billion movie goers annually.

…However, India is severely under-screened!

Total number of screens have been dropping largely due to decline of the single screen!

Single theatres face multiple challenges and have declined; Multiplexes can’t go beyond top 50 cities

Challenges with single screen

  • Traditionally, large theatres with limited facilities

  • Difficult to ensure sufficient utilisation for all movies

  • With high entertainment tax and relatively low F&B and advertising revenue, the financial model is less viable

  • Real estate value is considerably higher than the value from screening- leading to closure of the theatre for other real estate purposes

Challenges with multiplexes 

  • Tend to be located in pricey real estate

  • Key success factors are high ticket prices, and high F&B revenues

  • Prices too high to be sustainable beyond top few cities in India

  • Largest multiplex is limited to ~570 screens and the industry has seen considerable consolidation between the top 4 to survive

Picture Time is designed to balance the challenges:

  • Create world class movie experience, for Tier 3 towns and villagers at low prices

  • Keep costs low by creating mobile theatres that don’t incur real estate costs and can move to new location ensuring higher utilisation

Picture Time to create the mobile digital multiplex- build largest number of screens in India
