It comes out to roughly 50% going to the distributor30/40% going to the studio, and the remainder to the cinema. They make vast amounts of profit on food and drink. When I worked at my local cinema, the drinks cost a few pence to make, at most, and they sell them on for £3/£4. Also, we had to make the drinks 75% ice unless the customer specifically requested less.
I felt like a proper cunt working there...I wanted to be there for the films, which is what I'm studying and the industry I want to enter, and I did get into them free, so I suppose that worked, but it felt more like it was something to be done if you were working towards a degree in 'Serving Popcorn to Chavs'.
The managers didn't seem to care about films either...I was apparently the go-to guy if anyone wanted to know about something that wasn't Harry Potter or Generic Teen Movie Fifty-Twelve.
