Movie Distribution and Show Biz Realities in Small Town Theaters
The article explains how film revenue shares and guarantees work, noting that big movies like Star Wars can command over 70 percent of proceeds and theaters often guarantee sums to distributors. It cites a $12,000 guarantee for King Kong at DeKalb and details shorter runs in smaller markets like Morris Theater. Costs to operate range from 1,000 to 20,000 dollars weekly, with run lengths dictated by distributor policies. The piece highlights the economics behind Smokey and the Bandit, suggesting public demand drives success more than star power.
