Very nice. Except that the studio doesn't get all of the grossing. I would say about 50% goes to the theatre. Also, in several countries the movie is actually distributed by other companies.

if you look at the movie division's financial, you will see that they only get a small cut from the worldwide grossing.

You're right, totally forgot that not everything goes back to the studio. Thanks for reminding :)

I wouldn't say 50%. Depends on how long the movie has been out for. It's usually closer to 20% during the first few weeks and some bigger movies have 0-10% of the ticket price going to the theatre. The longer the movie has been out, the higher the percentage the theatre will see but, keep in mind, not nearly as many people will be seeing the movie a month after it releases. Most theatre revenue comes from the concession stand hence the stupidly jacked up prices.
