The weekly increments is interesting. The idea that the longer it's on the more profit the cinema makes on an individual ticket.
I remember earlier in the year Hateful 8 wasn't shown at one of the UK's biggest cinema chains due to the deal between distributor and the cinema not coming to terms. Makes me think they (the distributor) wanted too much of the cut first week(s) and Cineworld knew it was going to fall off fast so didn't agree. By the time they might have agreed a deal it was too late, film was out.
Interesting read.
Hmm, pie.
