Movie theatres wouldn't survive on ticket sales alone.

50% is the rough rule for the studios share. There have a been a few high end movies, where the studios have demanded 90% from theaters. However, foreign take is typically much less than 50%.
But yes, you're correct, front loaded movies tend to make more for the studios, than movies with legs.
