The producers and the studios get most of that money. Out of that, the operating costs are covered, some of which are fixed and have to be coveres whether or not the film makes money. Examples of these costs include, the craft unions, such as camera operators, grips, carpenters and other crewpersons. Equipment rentals, film processing, editing, etc all has to be paid for as the expense is incurred. If a film loses money in the box office, those costs are paid out of the studio's and producer's pockets.

Actor's salaries are mostly included in those costs mentioned, but sometimes, the principle actors are offerred a percentage of the profits. If the film makes money, these actors make money, if not, the actors don't.

The theaters, themselves make very little of the box office. They pay the studios a fee for the right to show the film. This fee is based on how many times the film is shown, not on how many seats are filled.

The theaters make MOST of their profits from the sale of snack foods.
