Interesting article about where your movie money goes:
WHERE MOVIE TICKET INCOME GOES - The New York Times
(Asst manager for movie theater 4 yrs college. Saw Exorcist over 100 times.)
Note: I do have a suggestion you can pass on to management. Offer a cheaper price for the "Last Week. " Might attract more last minute viewers where the profit is highest. |
That is a pretty old article. Anyone have something more current than 1987?
