[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because I was a manager of a movie theatre back in my 20s: 1. Admission fees basically cover only the film rights. The theatre depends on concession sales to stay in business. If you want your theatre to stay around (especially if it's an independent or small chain), buy the damn popcorn. 2. Because of #1, my performance as manager was largely judged on concession sale #s. Strict quotas, constant harping on what I was doing to increase sales etc. 3. Knowingly letting someone in with snacks was a disciplinary offense. Those of you smugly toting in bags with snacks peeking out puts the manager in a terrible position: he either starts a conflict with you, or risks you being a "secret shopper" and jeopardizes his job. [/quote] Movie theaters don't buy film rights. They make a percentage off ticket sales each week and it only goes up per week. You're misinformed. [/quote]
