It seems theaters complain like gas stations that they do not make hardly any money and that is why popcorn and a coke costs $10 now. I do not want to get into gas stations. I know they make like 7 cents a gallon and that is why they all opened up stores where they used to fix cars. Sadly enough by me all the theaters stink. They are all old and smelly and broken seats with all small screens. I live in a nice area too! The average house is about $300,000 with local taxes to be an average of $7000. I have had conversations with the theaters corporate office managers (Regal and AMC) and they have no plans to fix or replace the 4 crappy theaters in my area. They all claimed they do not make much money. I argued of they built us decent theaters more would come. If I want to see The Dark Knight in a great theater on a BIG screen I have to travel past 4 theaters and drive an extra 25 minutes. Right now two of the theaters will be playing The Dark Knight on a combined 7, yes SEVEN screens. Not one is a decent size. They are all small. Seeing a big movie on opening weekend on a small screen sucks. There is no other way to put it. I don't care if the next one start in 30 mins. I want a big screen darn it. So I want to know if anyone knows how much theaters make on tickets, on food and everything else. I don't want guesses. I want people who actually know. I want to keep fighting my fight for a new big theater. Thanks for the help. |
