Most movies make 50 to 70% of revenue from theatres ...that too in the first week.This revenue model is same across all movies and across all jounre.This is because in the first week approx. Every ticket sold ...only 20 to 30 percentage goes to theatre owners ...rest goes to the distributors....who takes his own cut about 3 to 10 percent and gives the rest it to the
producer.In the second week or so the cinema theaters owners and distributers now will take approx 40 to 70 % cut.
So you see every movie in the initial phase tries to open in the maximum number of screens....less screens ...less revenue.As the cinema owners were facing losses they could have reduced screen space further which will cause tremendous loss to domestic film revenue in Pakistan.

Regarding the English part.....the average Hindi news channel viewership in India is 100 times that of the most watched English news channel.For movies category it's almost similar.This is the huge difference even with all the southern belt not speaking hindi.The trend is similar for Hollywood vs bollywood movies in india.

You can believe whatever you like, and feel better. Doesn't make a difference. We're not the ones who were spooked or felt threatened by Fawad Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Mahira Khan or Atif Aslam.

Pakistani artists should not even go to India.

Better for Pakistani artists to invest in Lollywood and Middle Eastern and Chinese audiences.

In bollywood, all deals are made inclusive of promotion. I guess the maker of film expect him to share the song on his social network.

Moreover, you must not betray an individual who has invested a fortune in a film and his success depends on your contribution. That person has done no harm to you or your nation.

I have no issue he reject any future Indian assignment.

They can expect all they want, if its not contractually required then there it wont be done.

You cant expect goodwill gestures for an industry that toxic.

Artists are soft targets. No such curb on Pakistani businesses. Or of course on politicians meeting on the sidelines. Why are Doval and the Pakistani NSA meeting in Thailand? No ban on that? I understand the Indian team or any other team not visiting Pakistan because of security concerns but why stop bilateral test series within India or in neutral venues? Some people just play to the galleries when some state election is around the corner. Easier to whip up hate than to defend own track record of non-performance.

They can expect all they want, if its not contractually required then there it wont be done.

The industry is not toxic. They are just fed up. They will happily sign up people from North Korea if the saw a business opportunity.
With death threats and groups targeting cinemas, distributors and producers - it is just not worth the hassle. The movie industry could care less about which party is in power or who subscribes to which religion.

Generally, its contractually done. Rest its the common norm.

Would you have done the same to the person who gave you work, invested in you and then seeking the return?

How old are you kiddo.I gave a bunch of facts and you shitpost.Refute the facts or learn economics.

So in other words, toxic.

Generally, its contractually done. Rest its the common norm.

If its in the contract, take it up in court.

For the atmosphere being promoted in that industry I would refuse to do anything out of goodwill. You act as if India is the only reason these people have careers, stop ignoring the fact that their roles in Pakistan eclipse whatever they got abroad.
