That'll be $37

small coke and small popcorn in my town are literally $13
they deseve the raping they'll get during Joker showings

It's pure fucking extortion. I can buy a big bag of chips for $1.25 at the store and the cunts sell the same chips for $12.

>tfw my first run theater is exactly like your second run because I live in flyover
Feels great.

For me, it’s five guys.

shake shack is better

Prices are so high at my theater because theaters barely get a cut of each ticket sold during the first few weeks of the movie's premier. Opening weekend is nearly a 95/5 split on ticket sales. It increases gradually in the theater's favor over time. I'm not surprised that second run theaters don't charge insane fees for stuff then. It's too bad those are a dying breed in the US.

prices are high because people pay them. its that simple. my cinema closed its concession stall and opened a bar because everyone just goes to the store next door for snacks.

the bar is great for chilling before and after a flick.serves proper food and non retarded prices.

kek

the mad man

my gf makes popcorn and brings it in her big ass purse

This Is Literally All I WANT. just a gallon of water.
MY Gf GETS Candy Nachos An Extra Large Soda ice cream popcorn and brings a subway sandwich in her purse. Like wtf she can't go 2 hours without eating.

big ass pussy
ftfy

a small heavily watered down (like 60/40 coke/water) coke is $8 at my local. I took my gf to see a film there 6 months ago and all up we agreed never to go again

>gallon of water
That will be $46.

>bro always asks for no ice
>keep telling him the measure of soda is the same, ice or not
>always complains when they serve him a half empty cup

Had it for the first time today. It was pretty damn good.

You're in charge of a theater. Everyone knows that the markup for snacks helps offset the cost everything else, so what would your solution be to the problem of wildly overpriced popped corns and soda pops?

I dunno maybe diversify like everyone else has to.

Best theater i ever went to was attached to a bowling ally, arcade and night club. Sadly the guy who owned it died and his shit head son sold it all to some chinks. Its now a chinese mart.

Their burgers are so bland. It's like nobody thought to put any seasoning in the patty.

the grease is the seasoning

for me its tilapia

Let the theater fold since it's become an outdated business model.

Who needs to when they taste like shame

McDonald's is a far cheaper way to feel disgusted with yourself, and at least their burgers taste like something, even if it is pure salt.

for me

its the mc chicken

what if a theater is owned by a mall attached to a food court so they are happy to let patrons buy tasty food and then enjoy a movie right away

>be me
>go to cinema to watch stur wars tfa
>im 1 hour early
>go to bathroom to charge mobile
>see a guy making popcorn with his own popcorn maker inside
>he looks at me like he just killed someone and nods
>i nod back

That was the day I realized you can bring your own popcorn maker to cheat the system.

Thank you popcorn maker guy.

that wasn't a bathroom, that was the kitchen

>gallon of water
>fills it to the brim with ice
Great now it's watered down!

>love theatre popcorn and cant truly enjoy a movie without it
>no other way to get some than to goy up

its not fair bros

the usa in 20 years

>It's too bad those are a dying breed in the US.
Source? Ticket sales in general are tanking but that's because of shit movies and overpriced first runs, which if anything make second runs more appealing.

Your girl is a gluttonous cunt

does anyone still go to theaters? like aside from some alamo drafthouse style nice theater for a splurge or whatever. who the hell still goes to cinemark, plops down 89 dollars for 2 tickets, trudges through the sticky floors and bored, spoiled teens to watch not even well constructed neomarxist propaganda that doesn't even know what it wants to say?

Just because you're stuck in her gravitational pull does not mean you have to be her bf

theaters don't have to exist

Ooh, do tell me more about her feeding habbits

Bars in cinemas are fantastic, at my local you're allowed to bring your drinks into the movie.
>Chill at the bar while you wait for your date or friend.
>Drink during the movie.
>Hang out at the bar and discuss the movie afterwards.

I go maybe once a year. The only film I've watched at the cinema this year is Hobbs and Shaw.

what a hambeast

that's what I do except I just chow down on popcorn and feel like a pig, but I don't go to the movies often so the popcorn is half of what I'm going for. I've never tried movie nachos but they sound like a good choice too

I just wait for movies to come out on $5 DVD and watch them at home so popcorn and soda costs are minimal.

sell ads in front of the movies and run literally 33 minutes of them before a showing

I just tailgate before the movie and make popcorn on cast iron

Over rated garbage
Only worth eating for free.

The cinemas make no money from movie tickets, all their profit comes from concession

If you smuggle in food, you are just as bad as the people pirating the film

What about buying a ticket for a movie you want to support and then sneaking into a Disney movie that you don't want to support, and then buying concessions to support the theater?

>wanting to watch disneyshit at all, let alone going to trouble of going to the cinema and trying to sneak out of one movie to go to it to do so

charge people 10 bucks to bring in whatever they want

Worst case scenario contingency if my family tries to drag me to see Rise of S(o)ywalker. I really don't want to see it at all but I don't want to be a party pooper, either. I am hoping that everyone will just be kind of exhausted from Christmas stuff and not want to go see a movie.

This. Create a bar/theater hybrid. People would buy lots of booze while watching a 2 hour flick.

Create a hug therapy/theatre hybrid where you pay to watch a movie and a cute girl cuddles with you for the duration of the film.

Man my local second run theater finally closed down. The popcorn was fresh and they actually had a projectionist who knew what the fuck they were doing.

>cute girls

No Thanks I'll grab my own from the mines. Pass me a bucket, will you.

I thought that said "sexiest asshole" for a moment there

>If you smuggle in food, you are just as bad as the people pirating the film
The ticket is the price they ask upfront in order to watch the movie, and it's the only thing you're required to pay. They can scheme as much as they want behind the curtains, but bringing your own food is in no way the same as pirating.
I can understand not allowing people to bring in their own food because that would invariably result in the theater turning into a pigsty and making cleaning up much more expensive, but as long as you're eating the exact same thing they're serving and not littering the only thing you're doing is not falling for their ploy.

For me, it’s In-n-out
