As far as I'm concerned, it would hardly matter if the theaters charged $0 for movies. My family almost always goes to the movies for a "family date night". Last night our concession stand bill was over $60, and that's just because I din't have a drink and we didn't get popcorn. The theater we pretty much exclusively go to is one of those fancy places with the power recliners and food, so we will usually eat dinner there. I know, this is choices we make when seeing a movie. But, I can't AFFORD to get unlimited movies for $10/month. :-)

Huh. All the folks I know bring their libation (beer even sometimes) and even food into the theater. My wife and I always eat first, then take a small snack in her bag and that's it. Of course, we don't go to an upscale theater.

  What theater lets you bring in outside food/drink? I've never heard of the practice, outside of theaters that let you bring your own growler for them to fill.

    It's all on the down-low so only works with minimal snackage but no theatre around where I live pats you down. So it's against policy, but most folks do it.

    Afaik, none in the US let you bring food in, but it's trivial if anyone in your group has a hoodie or a purse

I received one as a gift and it's definitely cost me in concessions...
