Well Mike I do not know about other cities or chains but in Nashville we had to pay the operators there full time even if we did not have the last show or not and all the other employees got off early anyway and the Managers were on salary,so in other words there was not that much money lost except for the box office receipts.We did have a few snow nights that no one came to either shows in the suburb theatres.$0 receipts for the night.
Thanks again oldtimer in the know, welcome to Cinema Treasures.
