Investors And Filmmakers 30% - The people who paid to make the film need to be repaid. Investors in the movie for profit will want to be "first out", meaning they get paid before any other investors. Major filmstars and directors can also claim a percentage of the box office. This can be as much as 20% for a Tom Cruise or Peter Jackson.
Distributor 50% - For major blockbusters the movie distributor can demand as much as 50% of the price of the ticket, but this can be more like 25-28% for smaller films. They get the largest portion as they have put the largest investment into the film. As a rule of thumb a film must make 3 times its budget to cover its full production, distribution and advertising costs.
Cinema 20% - the portion of the ticket price given to the cinema showing the film is relatively small. This is why your popcorn cost so much (consessions); its how they make thier money.
