There's some profit, but believe me it's not much. Not enough to run the day to day theatre operation.

Movie theatres, at least major chains like AMC and Regal exist to maximize concessions. Trust me on this one, I've been through the wringer in that world and I was thrilled when the opportunity came up early in my time there to be a Presentation Manager (run the projection operation) instead of having to stress about concessions sales every night of the week.
