How do films get played at movie theaters?

Is there a way to improve the films shown at the local theater?
Do theaters buy the movies they show, or is it up to the company where the movies are distributed?
unless you own the theatre, no. Theatres have contracts with distributors and they have contracts with studios. If the distributor doesn’t think the movie will sell in your area, they won’t carry it. By the way, theatres make no money on ticket sales. Nearly all their money comes from concessions. That’s why you pay $15 for a large popcorn and water.
