When it is initially produced, a feature film is often shown to audiences in a [[movie theater]] or cinema. The identity of the first theater designed specifically for cinema is a matter of debate; candidates include Tally's Electric Theatre, established 1902 in Los Angeles,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cinematreasures.org/theater/8855/ |title=Tally's Electric Theatre |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=11 August 2010}}</ref> and Pittsburgh's Nickelodeon, established 1905.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05170/522854.stm |title= You saw it here first: Pittsburgh's Nickelodeon introduced the moving picture theater to the masses in 1905|accessdate=2007-01-25 |author= Timothy McNulty|authorlink= |coauthors= |date= 2005-06-19|month= 05|work= |publisher= Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }}</ref> Thousands of such theaters were built or converted from existing facilities within a few years.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.lib.umd.edu/RARE/Exhibits/Headley/styles1.html|title= Pre-Nickelodeon/Nickelodeon|accessdate=2007-01-25 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= 2005-07-05|month= 07|work= |publisher= University of Maryland Libraries |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }}</ref> In the [[United States]], these theaters came to be known as [[Nickelodeon movie theater|nickelodeons]], because admission typically cost a nickel (five cents).
Typically, one film is the featured presentation (or [[feature film]]). Before the 1970s, there were "double features"; typically, a high quality "A picture" rented by an independent theater for a lump sum, and a "B picture" of lower quality rented for a percentage of the gross receipts. Today, the bulk of the material shown before the feature film consists of previews for upcoming movies and paid advertisements (also known as [[trailer (movie)|trailers]] or "[[The Twenty]]").
Historically, all mass marketed feature films were made to be shown in movie theaters. The development of [[television]] has allowed films to be broadcast to larger audiences, usually after the film is no longer being shown in theaters. Recording technology has also enabled consumers to rent or buy copies of films on [[VHS]] or [[DVD]] (and the older formats of [[laserdisc]], [[Video CD|VCD]] and [[SelectaVision]] — see also [[videodisc]]), and [[Internet]] [[download]]s may be available and have started to become revenue sources for the film companies. Some films are now made specifically for these other venues, being released as a [[television movie]] or [[direct-to-video]] movies. The production values on these films are often considered to be of inferior quality compared to theatrical releases in similar genres, and indeed, some films that are rejected by their own [[movie studio]]s upon completion are distributed through these markets.
The movie theater pays an average of about 50-55% of its ticket sales to the [[movie studio]], as film rental fees.<ref name="PBS">[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/hollywood/business/windows.html PBS Frontline: The Monster that Ate Hollywood: Anatomy of a Monster: Now Playing ... And Playing ... And Playing ...] pbs.org. Retrieved June 23, 2007.</ref> The actual percentage starts with a number higher than that, and decreases as the duration of a film's showing continues, as an incentive to theaters to keep movies in the theater longer. However, today's barrage of highly marketed movies ensures that most movies are shown in first-run theaters for less than 8 weeks. There are a few movies every year that defy this rule, often limited-release movies that start in only a few theaters and actually grow their theater count through good word-of-mouth and reviews. According to a 2000 study by [[ABN AMRO]], about 26% of Hollywood movie studios' worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46% came from [[VHS]] and [[DVD]] sales to consumers; and 28% came from television (broadcast, cable, and pay-per-view).<ref name="PBS"/>
