Iger makes a death threat?

I think the main problem is the Studio's refuse to invest in theatres. The movie theatre is barely covering the expence of employees, maintainance and the such. If the Studio's would give more of the ticket price to the theatres, they wouldn't be scraping the bottom of the bucket. For one screen to sell $1000 worth of seats, the theatre only get's 10%. That's barely an employee salary for the day.

I think if anything, the studio's need to fork over some $$. I think place like the Archlight and El Cap and the quality in presentation can be presented anywhere. But, I will tell you that in the next 10 years, the technology is going to catch up and we'll see tons of theatres close and the loss of the use of film. Digital projection is coming and I think that will change everything.
