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?

The studio makes a deal with the movie theatre company. Essentially the studio gets a large percentage of ticket sales (nearly 100% on opening week) and a lower percentage the longer the film is in theatres. Since people mostly see movies on opening week, the theatre doesn’t make much money off of ticket sales. Hence the inflated concession prices, as that’s their real revenue stream.
