Project Hail Mary was made for IMAX. The filmmakers intended it that way. Yet you delayed the release by a week and still gave those screens to a film that wasn't even filmed for IMAX.
Don’t kill the excitement around a great film before it even gets a chance.
Be better, PVR 🥀

Urghhh.... So travel one and a half hours in BLR traffic only to see show is happening in a dilapidated auditorium with bad acoustics, poor ventilation and terrible seats. And for over an hour, @bookmyshow organizers keep us in a limbo only for us to find it out through his tweet

[Trevor Noah @Trevornoah]

Dear Bengalaru India, I was so looking forward to performing in your amazing city but due to technical issues we’ve been forced to cancel both shows.
We tried everything but because the audience can’t hear the comedians on stage there’s literally no way to do a show. We’ll make sure all ticket holders receive a full refund and again I’m so sorry for both the inconvenience and disappointment this has never happened to us before. 🙏🏽

@pereirasrichard @FIFAcom Sports18 on cable/DTH is the only other option I think.

It's just the opening ceremony and these guys are already messing up in handling the surge in traffic. Can @FIFAcom hand the telecast rights to someone more capable now? It's Jio Cinema for a reason, not Jio Sports!
