Connplex Cinemas Limited is an Indian entertainment company engaged in the development and operation of cinema theatres, film exhibition and distribution, and revenue sharing from movie screenings, F&B sales, and in-cinema advertisements. Operating under the “Connplex” brand, the company provides end-to-end solutions across the cinema value chain and has redefined the movie-viewing experience in Tier 2, 3, and 4 cities while expanding its footprint in Tier 1 cities as well.
Business Segments
Connplex’s operations are built on three core pillars:
a) Cinema Infrastructure Development: Making and designing theatres under varied models suited for different geographies.
b) Film Exhibition & Distribution: Screening mainstream, regional, and niche content, including alternative entertainment like live sports and concerts.
c) Revenue from F&B, Advertisement & Events: Significant earnings from food & beverage sales, on-screen and off-screen advertising, and private events.
Franchise-Based Expansion
Connplex operates using two franchise models:
a) FOFO (Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated): franchisees own and operate the cinema, while Connplex provides brand, training, and system support. A one-time fee of ₹5 lakh + GST per screen is charged, and revenue is shared from tickets, F&B, and convenience fees.
b) FOCO (Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated): franchisees invest in the property, but Connplex manages all operations. Revenue is collected centrally and shared after deductions, offering passive income to investors.
