Here in Spain it's a similar deal, chips and candy or other easy to eat snacks is the usual. You technically can go ahead and have a cheeseburger in there, but it's rather unheard of. In Spain you usually just buy the stuff, then go to the theater though, after some legal kerfuffles the current state of things is that an establishment can't sell you chips AND prevent you take your own chips, so we are free from absurd prices. I'm not sure that's the norm elsewhere.
