I can't be completely specific but the general rule of thumb is .. The longer the movie is being screened the more money the theater makes. (i.e. after three weeks or more the venue takes a greater slice of the ticket sales) The owners would prefer you didn't come on opening weekend! As previously mentioned concessions make up the shortfall for most venues.
