The trend of healthy box office performance despite relatively lower number of releases further confirms that content quality is the key for footfall growth. Strong NBOC should also support footfall growth in comparable properties. We had recently cut our ad growth estimates for FY20, while weaker- than-expected performance in Q2FY20 may risk our current estimates as well.

With the base increasing after two consecutive years of healthy footfall growth, strong movie performance in FY20 is crucial for sustained growth.
