We always see the box office numbers but do the theaters purchase the rights to show the movie then they make money off ticket and concession sales? Or do the production companies and theaters split the sales?
In: 1
Theaters make all money off the concessions. Ticket sales are split between the production studio and theater, on a sliding scale. The first week it’s like 90% to studio, 10% to theater and each week it shifts —80/20, 70/30. So only when a minor is a big blockbuster with a long run does the theater start to see significant revenue from the ticket sales.
