It's complex. But it starts at around 15% opening weekend and ends at 40-50% by the time the movie is at the end of it's run. So yea. That's $1.50/ticket on a $10 ticket on opening weekend.

Oddly enough, you'd think trying to get millions of young men to join the Marines would prevent the biggest target demographic from being able to come to the theater.
