Typically the initial split is 60-40 in favuor of the studio. The big blockbusters however? Those mega Marvel Movies? The first opening week(ends) are sometimes 90% for the studio. The split evens out the longer the movie stays. By week four, five, six, your local Cineplex makes more from Spider-Man than if you went the first week.
Movie theatres wouldn't survive on ticket sales alone.
