Is Telugu exhibitor system collapsing in the USA? 🇺🇸
In earlier days, it used to be strong. All noted Telugu distributors started as exhibitors and upgraded themselves into distribution (Blue Sky, GIF, Ficus, Cine Galaxy, Nirvana, Shloka, FlyHigh etc).

Sarigama Cinemas and RadhaKrishna Ent emerged from non-USA distributors system.
Generally, producer directly sells to USA distributor who in turn sells to exhibitor by keeping some margin.
Now big film producers are selling to 3rd parties (Classics & Phars)
