Versa wrote:To my knowledge working in the movie theaters for a couple years the main source of income is in concessions. Ticket sales go directly to the box office. I would think if the theaters got a percentage of the ticket sales that their concessions wouldn't be so expensive. At least that was always the take I was given on it for years. Can anyone confirm where this may be true or false?
On the note of the percent drop I think Transformers has way more replay value than HP5 right now. I thought that film was the worst of the HP films honestly. The story was good and it was well told, but I just didn't care as much as I did the previous films and that's where I think it failed on a seeing it again and again kind of thing. Transformers I could see a bunch of times in theaters. I've only had time to see it 3 times right now, but I love it every time. I will be going back for more!
I was just pointing out to some people that based on the same amount of time in theaters (13 days)that the movie has actually done better than harry potter and had less of a drop off at the box office than the wizard did.
The real test will be how Simspons may affect it and once the international markets are all open and we see the grand totals.

Flag-wavers here might be getting squirts of patriotic enemas, but abroad... hardly. Who wants to see a damn "Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines!" commercial if you're not from the USA?

The only musical for me is South Park: The Movie.
