About a year or so ago, there was a topic that discussed the operating cost of a theatre. If I remember correctly, Andrew McCray started the thread, but Ian responded to the post with a "laundry list" of items that are a part of monthly expenses of opearating his theatre.

I've tried using the search function, but I just can't seem to find the exact thread I'm looking for. Anyone else remember this?

Here's a .pdf of 8 weeks of P&L for a six-plex from fiscal 1999. A few of the numbers are estimates, but they are extremely accurate. You can even take note of the films playing each week and how the numbers were affected.
