MOVIE PROFITS

ok, after Simon Kinberg replaced Bryan Singer in Xmen 3, I've decided to be more aware of how I vote with my wallet. So I'm going to buy DVD's of good movies and avoid giving bad movies my money as much as possible.

^ evil bastard that screwed up Xmen3

So basically I'm trying to find a comparison chart of how much. Basically I want to create a chart saying $$ profit for the mover per each customer action of:

1) going to the theater
2) renting a DVD
3) buying a DVD

Yes there is always torrents but I'm trying not to break the law here.

VHS tape at $10 the profit margins for the movie company are at 20-30%, while a DVD priced at $20 brings in 50-60% profit margins.

 
So you finally decided to be a smart consumer?
Good for you!

The data is available, though I'm not sure where.
 
Movie studios don't really make that much from theater sales, they get alot of their money from DVD sales, and merchandise.

In total, yes but not per person:

The movie theater pays an average of about 55% of its ticket sales to the movie studio, as film rental fees. The actual percentage starts with a number higher than that, and decreases as the duration of a film?s showing continues, as an incentive to theaters to keep movies in the theater longer. However, today?s barrage of highly marketed movies ensures that most movies are shown in first-run theaters for less than 8 weeks. There are a few movies every year that defy this rule, often limited-release movies that start in only a few theaters and actually grow their theater count through good word-of-mouth and reviews. According to a 2000 study by ABN AMRO, about 26% of Hollywood movie studios? worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46% came from VHS and DVD sales to consumers; and 28% came from television (broadcast, cable, and pay-per-view).
