Nepal Multiplex to Pull Down Dilwale within 4 days of Release
Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon's Dilwale may have had a great opening in India and in Gulf countries, but the film will enjoy only 4 days of its screening in Nepal.
The Nepal multiplexes will be taking off the film in order to accomodate Star Wars: The Force Awakens that releases this week. Earlier the movie was to release last week, but since Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale hit the screens, Star Wars got pushed by a week.
According to our sources in Nepal, Dilwale was faring good till Sunday noon. However, the footfall decreased Sunday evening onwards and on Monday morning the occupancy dropped to 20%. Since screening a movie with as less as 20% occupancy will incur losses to the QFX franchise, they have decided to screen Star Wars from Wednesday itself.
Currently Dilwale is getting more than 20 shows per day but due to poor performance, the chain has decided to reduce it to not more than 3-5 shows per day.
