Cinema owners oppose a megadeal that would see one of the last Hollywood legacy studios snapped up only five years after the demise of 20th Century Fox.
Good. I took my wife and kid to a movie the other night and spent $150 for stale popcorn, shitty candy and a few sodas plus movie tickets. “nO oNE gOEs tO MOVie tHeATrEs ANyMoRE!!!”
Yeah I called bullshit that you got stale popcorn. Considering how fast movie theaters go through popcorn. And if you’re spending $150 then you’re doing something wrong. I mean that means that you spent about 50 bucks per person since it was only three of you. I see in another comment that you mentioned it was $32 each for movie tickets and you’re in New york. I mean that’s simply the case here is that you live someplace that’s very expensive to do anything. And you chose to go to a movie theater that charges quite a bit. You could simply do something like a movie club like Cinemark or AMC’s movie club or something like that which is a whole lot less per month you get free movie tickets and you get discounts on everything. I go to the movies three or four times a month and even with a family of four I typically won’t spend more than $100 in my area. And that’s usually buying the most expensive tickets as well which are usually like IMAX and d-box tickets etc.
Holy shit, where?? The Jack Loeks sold tickets in 2000 for five bucks. You only needed one bucket of popcorn because it was bottomless. I never bought candy but I assume for whatever reason your region inflated those prices too.
Rookie mistake. The movies are still pretty affordable if you plan it right. Go to a matinee or special pricing days. Smuggle in your snacks and drinks. Hell, I’ve walked in with a whole ass fast food meal before.
I feel like the employees at many theaters these days just don’t care if you bring in your own food.
My wife and I also occasionally see imax movies at a theater that’s part of a furniture store. The store also has an ice cream shop & burger restaurant. That theater is more than happy to let you bring in food from those places.
And you realise you chose to buy that stuff, right?
Do you need popcorn and candy?
When I was growing up, and even into adult hood, never bought theater food. Not until I found a theater that has real meals and and their own craft beers.
Y’all don’t sneak in snacks? It’s cold out and it’s easy to sneak in soda bottles in a jacket. I snuck in a KFC meal in my jacket to watch Avengers Endgame.

Yeah no shit I wonder why?

The rectum can hold a surprising amount of food if buttered.

You need a better theater.

I’m genuinely dumbfounded that you even managed to spend that much at the movies.
Its $10 for a damn soda, and has been for 20+ years (which is about when I stopped going to the theater for the most part).
Eaay to do with 4 people. I have no idea what tickets cost these days.
