The studios _know_ that the cost will be passed along to the consumer. - ferg -- Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu writes: Actually, they usually can't lower the price of the ticket all that much, as most theaters are barely breaking even on the ticket sales. They *rent* the prints from the studio, often at rates of $20,000 or higher *per week*. Yes, this means they need to sell 3,000 tickets at $7 a pop before they can even *think* of making money. Remember they probably have either rent or mortgage costs for the theater and so on too... In fact, that's why the concession prices are so high - the vast majority of theaters only stay afloat from profits from the concessions..... -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
