Movie studios get a percentage of ticket sales. How do they know that cinemas, especially small independent ones, are reporting their ticket sales correctly? Couldn’t a cinema just claim that a screening had 20 paying viewers when in reality they sold 300 and keep the entire extra revenue for themselves? Or do cinemas have to pay per screening regardless of how many people are in the cinema?

It used to be way worse. Now that it’s all digital projection, they use security software to only allow x theater to play back X movie X amount of times per day: they can even constrain the time window. They’re called digital cinema players.
