Exhibitors are mostly theater owners who exhibit the film.The share of distributors and Exhibitors is on percentage basis on the net gain. Normally it's 50% - 50% in the first week and in subsequent weeks distributors share goes on reducing. That's the reason first week collection hold atmost importance nowadays as like in old era film don't run in cinema halls for weeks.In this case, if it is sold to distributor at 65 crores. Then distributor has to earn 130 crores to break-even. That is no profit no loss situation means average. After this the other tags will come like semi-hit, Hit etcI'm not too sure about Manikarnika as the narrative has been different from all the collection providing sites.
