Reminder that a game is worth whatever you will pay for it

That's not good!

If people don't pay for something it will simply drop in price! Does that mean it's worthless!?

Do you want to nurse me? OwO

>a cinema that doesn't sell popcorn
What the fuck

What's number one? Games Workshop minis?

ya what a shithole

What if your boss refuses to pay you for your work hours simply because he 'feels' it isn't worth it? Anything that costs time and resources to make will reflect that in their price.

>calling it a cinema
>going to one that doesnt sell popcorn
>sneering on fucking popcorn

I know Yea Forums likes to be contrarian but what the fuck

No thanks robert, i have some snacks in my bag.

It's called the movies, you pleb.

>namefag replying to himself
how sad

>probably goes to kinoplexes that don't have No Singles policies

Disgusting

That's a pretty shitty list if popcorn is second highest.
There are a fuckton of products that have markups in the several thousands relative to the value of the thing you're actually using, like bottled water and printer ink cartridges.

we are legion

I don't even like popcorn though.

I just don't get people that pretty much waste a meal on cinema food, I understand popcorn and drinks but what's up with all the other shit?

i always assume they charge you a shit ton with the food since that's what pays for the high school kid to clean up the seats afterwards
that's why I just leave my trash on the seat

do americans really have a no singles policy? isn't turning down costumers just shooting yourself in the foot?

Oh man I'm never buying theater popcorn again. I'll just bring my microwave with me and a box of microwave popcorn

Nowhere actually has that as a rule, it's just neckboards making shit up to explain why they're afraid to go to the movies alone.

Do people not sneak in food or eat before going to the theater?

Fuck's sake, this topic again. Let me fucking educate you fucks

>theaters have the most massive overhead imaginable
>each projector can and easily cost 1-2 million dollars. EACH
>theaters make, at best, a quarter on every ticket sold. The money you pay for a ticket does not go to the theater, it goes to the fucking Hollywood elite

If you absolutely have to eat food while watching a movie, you're probably a fat ass anyway.

>shitting yourself over the widely known popcorn markup
Nobody bring up shaved ice, the retard brigade might explode.

um it's actually a fairly widespread measure adopted in most areas of the country to prevent incel shooting sprees, maybe if you ever went out you'd know

>if you require one iota of moisture during this 3 hour long endurance marathon you are obese

>cinema industry charges an arm and a leg for popcorn and a drink
>wonder why no one is going to the cinema anymore

>theatres are run by retards that have to scam you to make ends meet
>that makes them good people and you bad people

probably not but I would not be surprised if specific locations do because of
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Aurora,_Colorado_shooting
The only thing I know for sure is that, for showings that have reserve seating, you can't book seats if it's going to leave single-seat gaps between other people, kinda screws you over in more situations if you're trying to book a seat for yourself

>tfw i buy large popcorn everytime i see capeshit but am still skinny
get on my level lmao

>has a ticket for me already

you feel like going to the washroom in the middle of the movie?
i know i dont

>go to the dollar movies
>buy their jumbo xxx tub of liquid butter and kernels for $7
>it comes with free refills
>spend $9 total to eat 3 buckets and watch 3 movies
you cannot explain why people would willing choose to go to the "real" theatres other than not having an internet connection

It's just a dumb Yea Forums meme. However, some American theaters are actually wary of letting "questionable single men" into the upcoming Joker movie. There are rumblings of a no-singles policy, which may be enforced if a theater is unable to obtain the proper metal detection equipment.

this but unironically

it's not like they're going to search your bag for snacks/beverages unless you're in a third world country like philippines that search your bags before you go into a mall
Easy to sneak a couple cans of whatever in your jacket. If you really want to, you could just pack a cold beverage in an vacuum water bottle too and hide it in plain sight

>he doesn't sneak his own snack into the theater

You like the hooknose dick or what?

>sneak
the staff do not give a fuck mate just walk in with it

I’ve noticed this too, whenever i go with my friend we pack tons of snacks in a bag. The bag would be obviously puffed up from all the shit inside it, but wagies just don’t give a shit. Not sure about the managers though.

>can't drink 2 liters of water during a movie without having to pee

LITERALLY

I sneak my own soda and chocolate bar, but still buy the popcorn because the movies here offer all kinds of fanciful flavors the microwave packages don't have like jalapeno, very spicy cheddar cheese, chili with lemon and Oreos. And they not only give refills but let you change flavors freely and sometimes the workers let you mix and match between flavors freely.

Frankly I just go to the movies for the popcorn and nothing else. Missed Endgame because of family, but will probably see Detective Pikachu next Wednesday again, just for the popcorn.

what if I won't pay any money for a game?

Couldn't you just buy a popcorn machine?

Used to work in a kinoplex.

The only time you say something is if they are REALLY blatant like literally holding starbux cups, you feel like being an asshole, or they are asking for it.

Bottled water still beats it

This dose is kind of strong, do you think it's safe to ingest?

>Chile with lemon and Oreos
heathen

>Theaters know that viewers will pay more for movie snacks, so they hike the prices up: A bag of popcorn that costs 37 cents to make can easily sell for $5. One man in Michigan found the price so outrageous that he’s suing his local theater.
>suing his local theater.
kek

its almost like value is subjective or something. I always assumed some divine intelligence decided what prices should be

It's a big room

>wife finally finds me in the lobby and we leave discussing the movie as a loving couple.

i can't stop thinking about that guy Yea Forums....

He's you in 30 years, you saw your future

because you will never be as happy as him?

Sadly the reason why food and beverage prices are so high in most movie theatres is because the ticket sales are like a 90-10 split towards the movie studios in the first week all the time which slowly changes time as the weeks go on. Which means if a movie is extremely shit then a studio can make its money back on it sometimes but the cinema incurs losses as since word of mouth gets out of how shit a film is then nobody shows up for weeks 2 and 3 and so forth.

nice argument bro
