But beyond ticket sales, its real impact was felt in multiplex balance sheets, popcorn counters and food courts.

However, during the December quarter, PVR INOX reported its consolidated net profit more than doubled to Rs 95.4 crore, compared to Rs 35.5 crore last year. Total revenue rose to Rs 1,879.8 crore, up 9.46%. Dhurandhar released on December 5 — right in the middle of the quarter. Footfalls rose 8.6% to 40.5 million. The average ticket price stood at Rs 293. Why F&B was the real winner Here’s the key: ticket revenue is shared with producers. But food and beverages are largely retained by theatres.
