  2 months ago nana mag said the deal is 1st week 70(producer)-30(cinema), 2nd week 60-40 3rd week 50-50. sometimes the producers try and make deals to get better rates or even if its an unsold film better rates for the cinema. most times many producers borrow money in advance from the cinemas to carry on making the film and has to make better deals etc... for the cinema. its complicated and always create problems. i will the article again and come back. its the same in hollywood and europe...probably all over.
