BookMyShow Stream will be the first Indian service to follow the similar model to offer handpicked, curated library, customised to subscribers’ viewing patterns.
Ashish Saksena, COO - Cinemas, BookMyShow said that after getting into live events, it was a well thought out plan to get into streaming space, which will not be competitive, but complementary to the existing cinema ticketing business.
“BookMyShow Stream is a natural extension of our cinemas business and respects the existing theatrical windows for content. It will empower users to pay only for the content that they watch - a prevalent trend in other global cinema markets, as yet untapped at scale in India,” Saksena said. “The idea is to give viewers the best of global cinema right to their personal screens.”
