Students will have a chance to find out where their money goes when they go to the movies.

Ron VanTimmeren, Loek’s Theater marketing director, will speak Thursday in two sections of BIS 100: Introduction to Business. The first session will take place at 11 a.m. in the Industrial and Engineering Technology room 216 and the second at 3:30 p.m. in Moore Hall 105.

“He will discuss how business operates in the entertainment industry,” said J.D. Mackin, business information systems instructor.

Mackin said he expects VanTimmeren to give an entertaining speech in his classes.

“Rumor has it that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman will show up,” Mackin joked.

VanTimmeren also will focus on the movie industry, the Academy Awards and various business topics, such as manufacturing and digital technology in entertainment, he said.

The sessions are open to the public and Mackin said he expects about 100 students to attend.
