You know, you don't need to buy the theatre's popcorn, just stuff your drinks and snacks into a smallish rucksack. At least you know what you're stuffing into your face.
Also, I'm guessing the reason theatres charge so much is because of the mess left after a screening which needs to be cleaned up. Theatre goers are a pretty messy lot in my experience...tipped over half eaten popcorn tubs, same with half drunk beverages, mashed into carpet unfinished hotdogs. I can sorta see why they charge a premium.
- chongli 7y agoThe reason movie theatres charge so much is because all of the commissions on ticket sales go to the studios. If everyone brought their own food then movie theatres would lose money and go out of business.
- tartoran 7y agoIf movie theaters go out of business the studios fail too. Maybe movie theaters need to go out of business, perhaps temporarily, so the studios are pressed to cough up more money. Well, that’s a naive thought, I know. Things will improve once they can’t get any worse. I feel it’s getting closer. The Oscars audience is in decline, studios are coming out with mostly crappy movies and the popcorn’s quietly going up in price:)
