THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THEATERS For the first month or two of screening, the cash from the ticket sales of a movie go to the studios, so theaters rely on concessions to make money. That’s why concessions are so expensive.

Combos at the concessions don’t save you money at most theaters, you’d probably pay the same price if you purchased the items separately.

Movie theaters workers keep popcorn for a day or two, most costumers confuse old popcorn with the freshly made.

70% of Americans go to the movies at least once per year.

Americans spend 26.6 million at day at the movies.

39,662 movies screens exist in the US alone.

Who has the IMAX capacity in the world? Hollywood TCL Chinese theater with 932 seats.
