I take my 2 grand boys to the movies every once in a while. A medium popcorn soft drink and a candy bar them and a large popcorn and a large soft drink cost around $20 bucks plus the cost of the tickets. For me there no way I could get all that inside except for the candy. The only reason it's $5.00 every one keeps buying it and guilty as charged on that. No i don't consider sneaking food into a movie stealing. -- Caddy |

| Haha at my movie theater I just walk in with food/drink from the food court. I have yet to have anything said to me. If they give me shit about it, I'll just return my movie ticket.
Also, there is no sign saying external food/drink prohibited, so in my opinion, they can't do anything anyway. |

In the movie theater by me where I go to most of the time, they do prohibit outside food/drinks, and what's worse than that is that they claim that it's for "security" reasons. Of course, those who go to that movie theater often know it too well that the real reason is because they want to charge you $3 - 5 for drinks that can be purchased for $1 - $1.50 in a grocery store across the street. And to top that, if someone tries to come in with a bag, they search that too, although they stay away from searching coats/jackets and purses. So actually, in the winter time it's pretty easy for me to "smuggle in" a bottle of soda and/or some candy. Summer time is a different story though. -- Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies... A MESSAGE to the RIAA and the MPAA: You shouldn't wound what you can't kill... |

What you don't realize is that the Movie theaters pass back 98-100% of ticket revenue to the Movie Distributer as required by their contract. Theaters no longer buy movies and show them to make money off tickets. The Distribution companys provide the movie reels/Digital discs/downloads (some of the larger theaters are distributed to through a secure WAN download network) at no/minimal cost and now require that they pass back all ticket revenue and as a result they can only make money on the extras. Food, drink and candy are the only money they make.
So yea, when you sneak in food, drink and candy without the theaters permission you are directly taking revenue from the theater and only giving money to the Movie company. Hurt your local business and help Hollywood. Good old American tradition. |
