At some point theaters and movie studios need to have variable pricing for movies. All first run movies being the same price is silly and leaves a ton of money on the table. May be one way it gets to be more like theater.
- lumost 6y agoI’d be really curious what the margins on the in theater experience break down as. I wouldn’t be surprised if big crowd pleasers take a bigger cut then small time films
- colinmhayes 6y agoI think the vast majority of ticket price goes to the studio. The theater makes money off concession sales.
- maxerickson 6y agoI expect it's not so simple. People aren't rational about pricing. I expect a lot of people would be outraged if you tried to charge more for a movie expected to have a popular open. They already do a lot of price variation in the release process, by the time it gets to cable their marginal revenue is something like a few cents.
- spullara 6y agoFolks already pay different prices for different movies on the streaming services. I don't think it is a big stretch to think that they would pay more for better movies.
