How does the Indian film industry make money? DVD sales? Theater tickets? Something else? I've heard that the Indian film industry is pretty deeply infiltrated by organized crime but I don't know if that's really true.
- intended 15y agoUsed to be infiltrated by crime - around 1990s iirc. The Mumbai police brutally cleaned up a lot of the mob out here, and things have become a lot cleaner since. The key driver for film would would have to be box office ticket sales, (i'm going to ignore food, product placements and the like). DVD/Video sales will be a much lower portion of it. Let me see if i can get any numbers... ah found it. - Numbers are for 2010 and in INR bn (1 USD = 45.0 INR) Domestic Theatrical: 62.0 Overseas Theatrical: 6.6 Home Video: 2.3 Cable & Satellite Rights: 8.3 Ancillary Revenue Streams: 4.1 I got this from a KPMG report on the Indian media industry for 2011 - http://www.kpmg.com/IN/en/IssuesAndInsights/ThoughtLeadership/FICCI-KPMG-Report-2011.pdf http://www.kpmg.com/IN/en/IssuesAndInsights/ThoughtLeadershi...
