A typical trip to the movies involved seeing a cartoon, a short, a continuing weekly serial like Flash Gordon, a cheaper or formula film known as a “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” فیلم, and the feature. Even after the economy recovered, viewers expected a three hour or more experience any time they went to the movies.

بر طبق A History of Narrative Film by David A. Cook, the way “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” films were distributed left little financial risk for either the producer or distributor. It also created a much smaller profit margin.
Profits from a feature film were split between the producer and distributor with anywhere from a 60/40 to a 80/20 split. “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” films were rented at a flat rate. According to Cook, the average budget for a “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” film was $20,000, which turned a $3,000 به $4,000 profit.
Still from Tangled Destinies (1932)
The “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” films did produce several very popular series such as Charlie Chan, The Three Mesquiteers and Hopalong Cassidy, which are still popular today. Even though they were made on smaller budgets, the films were entertaining and still enjoy a following today.
When the motion picture companies were forced to divest themselves of theater chains and viewers tastes changed after 1949, the double bill faded into history.
With little demand, the “<طول bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "566" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” studios were forced out of business but they have left a legacy of cheap but entertaining films. Most of the films are available free in the public domain through sites like the Internet Archive.
