11.10 am - 12.10 pm Dual Screen Disruption – Can The Two Co-Exist?
Streaming services have brought in tremendous impacts on the consumer behaviour, audience footfall, movie-viewing and the consumption of quality content. Has the cinema exhibition industry been negatively impacted with the onslaught of streaming services, VOD, OTT, and mobile-driven premium content?

11.30 am - 12.15 pm Deciphering The ‘Perfect’ Formula
Audience demographics, tastes and consumption habits have been constantly evolving for the better. Exhibitors need to gear up for the change to meet the audience expectations. The whole moviegoing experience must be redefined and the role of these movie theatres has grown critical to drive this change.

The past experience indicated that the audience expectations were limited and they were considerably satisfied when provided with good seating, air conditioning and quality popcorn. Meanwhile, the last decade has proven that the business of running a cinema theatre has changed dramatically. The expansion of cinema screens to smaller cities has resulted in an explosive appetite for both local and foreign content. So what could be the ‘Perfect’ formula to win the audience’ hearts and wallets? The experts try to decipher the formula.
