Money is all that matters at the box office or does it really? The box office trade is too complex to understand for everyone and we sometimes tend to fall for the shining figures that producers throw at us with pride.
While a 30 crore earner Sarbjit wasn’t a box office failure, a 60 crore grosser Mohenjo Daro was a disaster on the other hand.
Everything in the box trade comes down to the cost in the end and the losses are left to be entailed by poor distributors.
So if an X movie is made on a budget of Rs. 100 and it goes on to earn 150 at the ticket counters, it should be a hit right? But sometimes the verdict comes across as ‘Flop’.
There is a reason for that! The X film made on a budget of Rs. 100 was sold to the distributors for Rs. 200 with the promise that it will yield them profits of at least Rs. 50.
While producers laugh their way to the bank, poor distributors are made to suffer the losses.
