Of
late,
we
have
seen
some
Telugu
movies
coming
out
in
the
miniscreens
and
web
within
weeks
after
the
theatrical
release.
With
the
onset
of
the
OTT
platforms,
Telugu
movies
did
get
a
new
source
of
revenue
through
digital
rights
and
many
of
the
recent
flicks
premiered
on
the
digital
platform
within
50
days
of
release.
While
trade
talks
were
rife
on
how
this
would
affect
the
theatrical
business
of
Telugu
movies
in
future,
here's
a
silver
lining
for
distributors
and
exhibitors
of
the
industry.
The
latest
reports
that
have
surfaced
reveal
that
the
Telugu
Film
Producers
Council
has
decided
to
set
a
time
frame
for
the
digital
and
miniscreen
premiere
of
all
Telugu
movies.
Reportedly,
they
will
sell
the
satellite
and
digital
rights
with
an
agreement
that
the
miniscreen
premiere
or
web
premiere
will
happen
only
after
eight
weeks
(56
days)
of
the
theatrical
release
of
a
movie.
Reportedly,
this
agreement
will
come
to
effect
from
April
1.
This
has
come
as
good
news
for
the
distributors
and
exhibitors,
especially
since
this
would
ensure
a
long
run
of
Telugu
movies
in
the
theatres,
specifically
for
the
ones
that
receive
good
reports.
