Originally posted by Halcyon+On+On From what I have been told about several theatres, the theatre, itself, is funded solely on food sales and whatever money that production companies want to supply them with to showcase their films. All ticket revenue goes directly to the production company.

It's true. Theaters make 95% of their revenue on concessions. It's actually a remarkably non-profitable industry. You can bring in 1000 people on a Friday night, but if nobody buys popcorn you're still going to go out of business pretty quickly.
