PVR INOX is expanding alternate content beyond films, using its cinema network for live sports, concerts, stand-up comedy and other out-of-home entertainment. Management said IPL and FIFA screenings drew strong audience response and contributed to profitability.

Why this matters

The alternate-content push adds an attendance lever as PVR INOX returns to profit on higher admissions, ticket prices and F&B spend, and plans 90–100 new screens in FY27 after becoming net cash positive.
