I come from a live theatre background and many of them charge a separate capital improvement fee on their tickets to be used for upgrades/capital projects.
Does anyone do this in the cinema world? We are going to be re-opening a historic 1938 cinema and running it as a non profit.
I am just wondering about it and whether making the extra charge separately on the tickets would mean that it is excluded from the percent that goes to the distributors just like taxes.
Eg.
$7.57 admission
$1.00 capital improvement fee
$0.43 taxes
=$9 ticket
The distributor fee would be based on the $7.57 admission portion of the ticket price (ideally). The funds from that capital improvement fund would be held separately and be used only for capital improvements (new equipment purchases, etc).
