It's not good for theatre owners. My good friend Syed owns the Wales Theatre in High River and complains that Disney is the worst to deal with when ordering a movie. Half the time there's nobody in the distribution office to take his call and order. If you want to show the movie on release you have to show it for a minimum of 3-4 weeks. They don't care if you have one screen and that showing for more than one week would not be profitable.
On top of paying a fee to show the movie, they demand a percentage of your box office takes. Only money made is in concession sales
