Josh i just see your in the Bay area …Thats one of the highest places to do bsns in the country…If your theater is under $10.00 that is not a bargin thats CHEAP.
Josh, First $10.00 is a major city price (ny&la higher)$6.75 is about the average ticket price a bargin for a movie .(thats $3.38 per hour for entertainment)
Now lets run some number-30% ON $6.75 IS $2.02 PER TICKET( THE AVERAGE THEATER MAKES )
candy is about 2oo% markup
popcorn is about 500% markup….lets say your per cap is $2.oo per person
This is a list of bills-
rent, taxes,electric,gas or oil,payroll,health ins,phone,movie listing ads,equipment,candy supplies,cleaning supplies,cleaning crew,
building ins,home office bills &payroll (IF YOUR A CHAIN)
MOST chains (not all)have been in or out of bankrupcy in the last 10 years ……..mom and pops going dark…..
Oh to show a profit is the AMERICAN way…
I ALWAYS PIC A MOM AND POP THEATER OVER A CHAIN,if they have the movie i want to see.
I dont own my own theater-(but will soon ,i hope))i do own a chain of retail stores..(not theater related)
Mom and pop theaters can in many cases avoid the ads do to the lower cost of overhead..ie… no mgr ast mgr salery ,and or health ins.
I know some small theaters its the ads that keep them afloat each month… each case is different.I hate the ads but am willing to put up with them to keep theaters in the black..
I love some of the ..“theater fans”..THAT ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT TICKET PRICES….$8.00 to $10.oo a ticket is a bargin…Save the theaters …we want great movie theaters ..BUT WE DONT WANT TO PAY…
JOHN…….in nys the house allowance or “nut” works like this…lets say the PARIS theater nut is $8,000 per week and your working on a 90/10 split with a film..the 90/10 does not kick in till the $8,000 nut is covered……….
house allowance -is the amount a film company says it cost to operate per screen each week ..based on seat count …means many different things depending were you are located…..
