I'm not sure why you asked that question in this forum, but here's how it was explained to me.
The cost of admission goes primarily to the movie companies. That pays the actors, directors, etc. as well as the stockholders of those companies.
The theaters obtain almost all of their money from the sales of concessions. This pays labor costs, utilities, and other costs of the theater.
And this will go up when the minimum wage goes up. Something to look forward to.

"Owners joke about being in the candy business," said theater owner Howard Edelman, proprietor of Movieland Cinemas, an independent string of cinemas in the Long Island, NY-area. "If you didn't have concessions at a movie theater, there would be no movie theater. We have movies just to get people in to buy popcorn and candy, where we make our money."

Because the theater does not make very much money off of tickets.
