Information on the seismic activity at the Earthquake Research Center of Santiago de Cuba alternated with songs of Buena Fe and Polo MontaÃ±ez. Some reporters that circulated by the New Van Van neighborhood announced rumors of cracks and fallen walls in the area.
Bidding requires that the theater agree to pay a fixed amount for the right to show the movie. For example, a theater might bid $100,000 for a four-week engagement of a new movie. During that time, it could make $125,000 for a profit of $25,000. Or it might take in only $75,000, which means the theater has a loss of $25,000. Few distribution companies use bidding anymore.
Adverstising: Theaters split the $50 to $100 fee for ad slides before movies with local advertising agents. Movie tickets: From 20 to 55 percent of ticket price, increasing the longer the movie is shown there. Snack sales: For theater owners, this is where the real money is made.
