Hello guys first weekend of PK is over now and by Saturday the movie collected approximately 57 crores. According to wikipedia PK was made on a budget of 85 crores. I don’t know if you realized it or not but tickets of PK are very costly according to Box-office reports ticket prices are all time high. And when media asked Salman Khan about PK’s ticket rates he said something like this.
“The ticket rates should not be so high that a common man can’t afford. The movie should not be for the profit, it should be for the audience entertainment, we had kept average rate for the Jai ho! For the audience and not for our profit.”
And there are many theaters that declined to screen PK because of its high ticket rates. Maratha Mandir and mini-multiplex Gaiety Galaxy have reject to screen PK saying it’s not for Aam Aadmi due to its high ticket rates.
There are mainly only two purpose of making a film first is to entertain audience and second is to make profit. But common man has nothing to do with profit he just want to get entertained if you make the tickets so costly audience won’t go to theatres, they will go for piracy and it will be a huge impact on their profit. so filmmakers should think about common man before raising the ticket prices
