Making Money From ‘Star Wars’

0

Walt Disney Co.’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is breaking records, making $1 billion in only 12 days.

However, CNBC asks: How much money is Disney making?

Much more than you might expect. The studio has to split ticket sales with movie theaters, of course, but given the hype surrounding the film, Disney was able to negotiate a better deal. The Burbank company is getting about 60 percent of ticket revenue, up from the standard 55 percent, among other concessions that theaters had to make to show the movie.
