A friend of ours owns a small, seven screen movie theater, and you are completely correct. They show first run movies, and make virtually no profit on the movie itself.
Going to a game, a movie, a concert, a wine festival, you name it... they are all the same. You are going to pay inflated prices, but you know that going in.
