I'm posting this here because I know we talked about it at some point, but not sure if it was in a Box Office thread or elsewhere. This is regarding % takes for studios and theatres.

Now studios and theater chains typically agree on a flat percentage split, no matter how long a movie plays. So “Pirates,” “Spider-Man 3” and “Shrek the Third,” for example, each opened on more than 10,000 screens in May.
“We don’t care anymore whether we generate revenue in the first week, the third or the fifth,” said Mike Campbell, chief executive of Regal Cinemas, the nation’s biggest theater chain.

Scrubs is the most underappreciated comedy still on television. Arrested Development did even worse in the ratings.

I don't know how good this will do though because the Simpsons have been around for such a long time.
