How is a movie theater run?

Question

Business side of things, like what they have to do to get movies and what they pay, and anything else.

Answer 1

you rent the movies from the studios and typically they get 90 to 95% of the ticket sales--so the only chance you have to make money is off the concession stand--that's why popcorn,candy, and drinks cost so much--the employee cost is minimal for sure--the start up cost i don't know--i was just the manager
