Grow up, sheesh

From http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/08/stories/2006020817400500.htm

Theatre owners, who released Vijay's `Aadhi' a day after Pongal, have
demanded compensation from the actor for the losses suffered by
them.

"In the past, Rajnikant, Vijaykanth , Kamal Haasan and T.
Rajender have compensated when we suffered losses..."

Sangam secretary P. Kannappan said that unless Vijay compensated the loss,
they would take the drastic step of deciding against giving theatres for Vijay's
films.
Great. Sure. After all, when you got into the business, you knew that all movies were going to be surefire hits, right?

Bah. The above-mentioned 4 actors should be severely reprimanded for spoiling the theatre owners. And the theatre owners themselves should be sent to kindergarten, and made to re-learn concepts like dealing with stuff.

There are 2 parts to this...

Distributors and movie hall owners can't claim compensation for loss as they need to bear part of the risk.

However it looks as if SA Chandrasekaran delayed the movie by 1 day primarily on ground of numerology. One day delay (Jan 14) can be a big loss to movie hall owners especially when they are expecting a sell out crowd. So the producer / actor needs to reimburse for the loss incurred due to 1 day delay.
