Pyramid Saimira Theatre Limited signed MOU with M/s.Moser Baer India Limited, New Delhi for the following :
Moser Baer will be releasing the new films of Pyramid Saimira in Home
Video format within a short period of releasing them in theatres. Pyramid
Saimira is planning to release around 100 films in South India and Moser
Baer will be releasing them in Home Video format across the country. To
begin with, Moser Baer will be releasing Pyramid Saimira Theatre’s new
Tamil film “MOZHI”(released on 23rd February 2007 and doing
Houseful across the world) starring Prakash Raj, Jothika, Prithviraj,
Sornamalya and others in Home Videos within a short span of time to
offer original home videos to Indian consumers.
The profits arriving out of this titles will be shared equally by Moser Baer
and Pyramid Saimira, including revenue generated from Advertisement in
VCD / DVD.
Moser Baer’s range of Home Video titles will be available at all the
theatres owned / managed by Pyramid Saimira, which will benefit all the
viewers at these theatres to buy their own collection of Home Videos and
will enable Moser Baer to reach out to more consumers through this retail
chain.
Pyramid to release films produced or distributed by Moser Baer in their
Theatres also.
Indian market for Home Video is dominated by Piracy and is estimated to be
over Rs.5000 Crores. The availability of DVD with full Copyrights at far
cheaper price points than the pirated price points will kill the piracy market
and also expand the Home Video Segment. Pyramid Saimira’s tie-up with
Moser Baer will also prove that the Home Video and Theatrical release are
complementary and the success of theatrical release will amplify Home
Viewing. Pyramid also will greatly benefit in expanding its reach and brand
across Home Viewing Segment, which will lead to much greater exploitation
of Content.
