I'm not a 100% sure about this, but maybe you know. Do movie theaters and gas stations provide their core service at a loss so as to profit from the ancillary stuff? I'd agree with you if movie theaters were giving the ticket away for free in order to get you to buy a $20 hotdog.

Gas stations make barely a profit of selling gas.

The movie ticket receipts go to the studios. Tickets alone don't make the theatres any money. For a bunch of historical reasons (antitrust) studios don't own the theaters. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/11/united-states-v-paramount-movie-theater-concessions-got-expensive/ http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/11/united-state...
