8. THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
THEATERS
For the first month or two of screening, the cash from the ticket sales
of a movie go to the studios, so theaters rely on concessions to make
money. That’s why concessions are so expensive.
Combos at the concessions don’t save you money at most theaters,
you’d probably pay the same price if you purchased the items
separately.

9. Movie theaters workers keep popcorn for a day or two, most costumers
confuse old popcorn with the freshly made.
70% of Americans go to the movies at least once per year.
Americans spend 26.6 million at day at the movies.
39,662 movies screens exist in the US alone.
Who has the IMAX capacity in the world? Hollywood TCL Chinese theater
with 932 seats.
