On average, what percentage does a movie theatre box office profit from ticket sales per screening/per ticket?
414538
The average won't really help you as most distribution deals are made with national theatre chains. That said, studio pictures tend to split the box office 70/30 (70% distributor, 30% exhibitor) while major event pictures (like Star Wars Ep. III) keeping up in the low to mid eighties. Independent Films have significantly less leverage and end up with closer to 50/50 deals with the exhibitors. Exhibitors get even bigger cuts on revived classics where they just pay a flat fee (say $500) to show cult classics (usually at midnight) and then keep the box office.\n\nExhibitors keep 100% of concessions.\n\nThe Theatre business is a horrible business to be getting into at this point though. The transition to home entertainment is forcing theatres out of business. The big boys have it down to a super-efficient science that it is nearly impossible for a single house to compete.\n\nIf you are going into the business you will definitely need some kind of a super-sweet gimmick, like "Tarantino personally curates all movies" or something like that. That or a liquor license.\n\nEmail me if you want more info.

First, rental places pay an inflated purchase price (movies you and I could buy anywhere for $15 to $20, costs them from $100 to $125).  Second, for every rental a distribution company takes a percentage.  The % varies depending on the size of the company and the quality of the movie.  Its usually from 15 to 30 %.

Each ticket "t" is worth $3, or 3t in dollars for all tickets sold.\n\nOn Friday, you sold 100 tickets, so 3(100) = 300.\n\nOn Saturday, you will sell t tickets for a total revenue of 3t for that night.\n\nTotal revenue is 300 for Friday and 3t for Saturday, 3t+300, which is e, and factoring out 3, you get 3(t+100) which is a, so answer is:\n\na and e.

50%\n\nThe mean is 200 with a deviation of 50 either way.  That means that the chances are 50 percent that the rating will be higher than 200 and 50 percen the rating will be lower than 200 because 200 is the mean.

Star value = Box Office Draw = £££££\n\nUnfortunately, Show Business is a Business & Execs are more willing to pile money in, when it increases there chance of getting more back.\n\nIt is a shame though, not only do more talented actors generally get paid less, but Movie Stars on the whole get paid more than the person Directing them!\n\nPersonally, I rarely pay more than £10 for DVDs (thank you internet), so I don't really see them as over priced. Cinemas have more overheads - all those staff get paid out of movie profits, so, like going to the pub, you expect to pay more.\n\nIt is a shame that big stars have such an effect over a movie's sucsess, but that's the way it is.

I was a manager of a 14 sdreen theater gor 12 years so I deffinitely know this one. The Production Companies send them to theaters. Thater managers give some to radio stations to hand out in exchage for air time. They also give them out as prizes to customers for contests. Sometimes they send enough for all the employees of the theater so they can advertise their movie. My intire wardrobe is made up of movie T-shirts. One of the perks of working in a theater.

I must admit that, although I used to work in corporate finance, I have never heard the phrase 'profitability ratio'\n\nHowever, I would have thought it was a percentage of a company's turnover compared to its profits.   If a company turns over £100 (ie, what it gets for selling its goods) and makes £5, the profit would be 5%.   As a ratio, this would be 1:20   (and I am aware that no company turns over just £100 before anyone complains! - I just like nice easy numbers!)\n\nYou could also do the same for individual items.   However the two are not necessarily the same!\n\nIt costs a company £80 to make a car and it sells for £100, the profit would be £20.   This is 20%, or a ratio of 1:5.\n\nHowever, the company may have a turnover of £1,000 but make a profit of £250 because of things like property sales, selling spares and so on.   Here, the profit rate is 25% or a ratio of 1:4.\n\nThe only way to use such a ratio to see if it is a good company is to compare it to the industry average.   If the average for making a car is 5% or 1:9, then the company is doing well.   However, if the average is 33% or 1:3 then the company is doing badly!\n\nI am sure this is now as clear as mud for you!!!   But I wish you all the best!

It finished number 1 at the US box office with $24.5 million half of its opening week but enough to beat Poseidon. It will pass $100 million but it is only a medium performance.\n\nhttp://www.empiremovies.com/index.php?id=10798\n\nIts earnings overseas are better with $40.5 million taking the tally to $129.2 million. South Korea is its best market per capita taking $6.1 million last week.\n\nhttp://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-05-15T013033Z_01_N14201884_RTRUKOC_0_UK-BOXOFFICE-OVERSEAS.xml\n\nWhile this is a reasonable performance a USA Today poll showed that 51 per cent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of him as opposed to 35 per cent who have a favourable opinion. This compares with the situation when "War of the Worlds" opened where 58 per cent of people surveyed had a favourable opinion of him as compared to 31 per cent unfavourable.\n\nhttp://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-05/12/content_4537598\n.htm\n\nThe stronger performance overseas may be due to the fact that his image has not detiorated as much elsewhere.
