Topic: How much do theaters make? Forum: JoBlo

I am not sure about this but I've heard that when a movie opens it get 80% and the theaters get 20% for the first 2 weeks. Then when its been 4-5-6 weeks, the theaters get more like 35-45% and the sudios get like 55-65%. Then when a movie is at the end of its run at 7-12 weeks, the theaters get 70-80% and the studios get 20-30%. The only thing bad about this is that nowdays when a movie opens it makes most of its moeny in the first few weeks. Ex. Iron Man made $162M in its first 10 days and it has only gone on to make a total of $315M. $162 is more than 50% its entire total and thats the real problem. If you look at stats from 10 years ago.... There's Something About Mary made only $41M in its first 10 days and that was only 23% of its entire total. See the difference? I think the theaters made more back then, then they do now.
