As things look bleak and stare at an uncertain future small budget movies should consider selling their films to OTT platforms.
By June even if things look up, it is unlikely that there would be availability of theatres as already existing films wanting to come out at that time might not give space to the rest of the small movies.
It make more sense to do publicity and inform public that the films would have a worldwide release on an OTT platform, otherwise they will not have a cost to cost recovery.
If Covid takes a backseat in June, people still will not have the courage to venture out to the theatres and in such a scenario only distributors stand to lose.
As of now while we talk of Screen 5 films meant for small films, the sector that will be worst is real estate and auto. The already under construction houses have been stopped, effected.
