| Soundwave said: 375 isn't that high of a bar to reach. Even BvS despite all the flak it takes likely is going to net Warner Bros. a pretty large profit. Also the assumption that movie studios only get 50% of a movie ticket isn't even that accurate, in the US, they really take home more like 60-70% of the ticket split, that's why movie theaters have to charge so much for popcorn and drinks. |
My understanding is that they can make 70% for the first week, but it drops off after that. I think 50% is a better estimate.
From the following link, "...they paid about 51.8% of ticket revenue as film rental...":

And I agree that concessions are a big part of their income.
