Even though movie theatres are now open, only 7 per cent of people are willing to go to watch a film there in the next 60 days, as per a survey.
Results of July, August and October survey by LocalCircles indicate that people continue to stay reluctant in going to theatres and multiplexes due to the Covid-19 scare.
Cinema halls across the states were allowed to reopen after seven months of the ongoing pandemic induced by the novel coronavirus.
Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are some of the states where theatres and multiplexes have started to function. Cinema halls remain closed in states like Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Chhattisgarh and many northeastern states.
LocalCircles surveyed to know if citizens if plan on visiting movie theatres in the next two months. The survey received 8,274 responses from across the country.
