Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and actress Deepika Padukone starrer film Pathan is making a splash in theaters these days. It is being told that the collection of the film Pathan released on January 25 has exceeded 600 crores. Many people believe that the film has earned Rs 600 crore through collection, but the story is something else. If you also think that the collection of the film is the earning of the film, then it is not so. So today we tell you what is the share of earnings in the film collection and how the earnings can be separated from the film collection…
What is collection?
First of all, let us tell you what is the collection of the film. Actually, when you buy tickets in the theater and the money deposited with the theater is called collection. For example, if 100 tickets for Rs 100 have been sold, it means that the film has collected Rs 10,000.
What is included in the collection?
A lot is included in this collection, so it cannot be attributed to the producer. First of all, there is entertainment tax in this collection. Although it varies from state to state, but it is around 30 percent. The work of putting films in the theater is done by the distributor, who talks to the theaters through a deal. Then the theaters take out their share according to the deal in the collection that is done and give it to the distributor.
For example, if there is a 30-70% deal between the distributor and the theatres, then the theater owner will give money to the distributor accordingly. After this, according to the deal done between the distributor and the producer regarding the share, the distributor will get the money. Then the remaining money can be earning for the producer. This deal is also done on different basis.
How else does a film earn other than collections?
Many times the producer sells the film to the distributor producer for an amount and does not care about the collection. Apart from this, film makers also earn well from films remake and syndication rights. The earnings earned by selling the rights of OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video are part of the syndicate rights. Apart from this, deals are made with different companies, which include advertisements etc.
