Mumbai: Shares of Inox Leisure fell around 15% and PVR 13% to hit their 52-week lows on extension of lockdown amid talks that theatres will open only by June end and that some production houses are releasing movies online.
Shares of Inox leisure ended at ₹165.25, while PVR closed at ₹746.15 on the BSE today. The stocks have fallen more than 60% from their highs in February.
Inox, in a statement on Thursday, said "It would like to express extreme displeasure and disappointment on an announcement made by a production house to release their movie directly on an OTT platform by skipping the theatrical window run.
The decision of production house to deviate from the globally prevalent content windowing practice is alarming and disconcerting." M
