Answer:
$3.456 billion
Explanation:
To predict how much money the movie will make in ticket prices over the opening weekend, we can use the following information:
The average movie ticket price is $9
There are approximately 1.2x10^6 movie screens that will be playing the movie
For each screen, there are 250 seats and it is expected that each showing will be sold out
There are 8 showings per screen over the opening weekend
To calculate the total amount of money the movie will make in ticket prices over the opening weekend, we can use the following formula:
total revenue = (average ticket price) x (number of screens) x (number of seats per screen) x (number of showings per screen) x (number of days)
total revenue = $9 x 1.2x10^6 x 250 x 8 x 3
total revenue = $3,456,000,000
Therefore, the movie is expected to make $3.456 billion in ticket prices over the opening weekend.
