Movies

Produces and Distributors will have to agree.

Posted by: pquicio on Mar 28, 10:48 in response to notfabio's post ScreenRant: NATO suggests that when theatres do re-open...

Just because the theater owners decide to offer free movies is not enough to make it happen.  Film producers and distributors get their money from ticket sales.  I suspect that unless they agree to forgo their cut of the ticket sales it won't happen.  If they do agree, then I think it will be movies they select and allow theaters to show for free - look for some movies that started to show in theaters before the shut-down.  Those, I think, would be the ones that might be allowed to show for free.  The theaters will still make money because concession sales are 80% to 90% pure profit for them.
