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?

All these answers are good, but also realize the amount of money they could make by skimming ticket sales is waaaay less than the legal fees and penalties if they were caught. For publicly owned theater chains like amc or regal it just is t worth it.
