How do theaters entertain people?

Answer 1

Theater makes money by balancing the cost of the show (props, renting the space, costumes, etc.) with the income from ticket sales, advertising in the programs, and donations. That's why a lot of good shows have expensive tickets.

Answer 2

By selling tickets and candy counter junk.

Unless a film stays for a long time, most of the ticket price goes to the film company. Theaters make most of their profit by selling overpriced food and drinks.

Answer 3

Merchandising and advertising.
