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.
For the first month or two of screening, money from ticket sales goes to movie studios. Theaters rely on concession stands to make money. Thatâs why concessions are overpriced. Popcorn costs almost nothing to make.
