“I believe there will always be a place for out-of-home entertainment. Certainly movie theaters fall into that category,” replies Campbell. “And we have large numbers of customers turning out this summer.”
How is the money divided between theaters and movie studios?
“Typically it’s a percentage split and varies film by film,” explains Campbell. “We will pay a bit more for blockbusters and a bit less for films that are not quite as good.”
In the past the longer a movie stayed in theaters the better theater owners did. Is that still the case?
“No we’ve modified that practice over the past few years,” he says. “We typically split now at a fixed percentage for the entire run of a film.”
