  • Multiplex versus single-screen performance and prime-time versus weekday matinee occupancy.
  • Concession attach rates, mall tenant sales and parking volumes in cinema-led destinations.
  • Increase weekend staffing and fast-moving concession inventory at cinemas and mall food outlets in high-performing Telugu-Tamil catchments.
