Manager salaries can vary widely.  |  IP: Logged Franklin Armstrong Expert Film Handler Posts: 106 From: Orlando, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-06-2002 10:46 PM                     dave what theater chain is it? i work for a 7 plex in orlando and I have worked for 5 theater chains as floor staff and a projectionist and the most i have made is $7.oohr as a manager i am tring to get more or to see if i get a bonus or not what about you?  |  IP: Logged Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-07-2002 09:27 AM                     Federated is the chain. This location is first run and as far as i know the only theater within abotu a 30 mile radius. The places looks quite clean, well maintained and was rather busy when I was there.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 10-21-2002 10:50 PM                     Average starting pay in MN was $900 every two weeks for new managers for a traditonal 6plex theatre with a 1-3% concession commision yearly & an extra paycheck as a xmas bonus.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 10-22-2002 09:34 AM                        I was wondering was that concession bonus based on gross or net sales. It seems that a 6 plex should be doing 200,000-400,000 per year in concession sales. Which would mean that the manager would get a 2000-12,000 bonus, which seems a bit much for a manager. But sounds like a good place to work.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Boisson Expert Film Handler Posts: 157 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Oct 2001 posted 10-22-2002 12:23 PM                     I think my former theatre started at around $10-12 per hour, plus 1-2% concession commission.....and an x-mas bonus if the owner liked them. ------------------ 3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity. ...A projectionist without a theatre...  |  IP: Logged
