Overview

A new study by Ormax Media reveals that the audience base for streaming platforms and theatres remains largely distinct in India, countering the narrative that Over-The-Top (OTT) services have killed cinema. The research indicates 81 million Indians exclusively use streaming, while 76 million exclusively watch films in theatres, suggesting limited cannibalization and continued audience interest in cinematic experiences when content is compelling.
