This reminded me of how in Tamil Nadu (a southern state in India), move ticket prices have a cap (and movie going is HUGE) so it stays affordable for the masses despite really good and well maintained theatres. So companies that run movie theatres charge a bomb for the food (popcorn etc). If houxan afford the food, that's ok, but if you cant, you can just go watch a movie for <$2 per seat.
