said by Pirate515:said by sirwoogie:Make it a reason to go to the theater again. Don't charge me $10 for a ticket, $4 for a drink and $5 for a popcorn to sit in a cheap seat viewing where the floor is sticky, some of the seats have holes in them, and the screen is so dim that you have to squint.
Not sure if this is true, but from what I have heard, the main reason why popcorn/food/drinks are overpriced at the movie theaters is because the studios are keeping most if not all of the proceeds of box office sales. Very little if any of that $10 that you pay for a movie ticket goes back to the theater, so they are kinda forced to rape you on everything else.
The thing is, that's a fight between the studios and the theatre chains, not the consumer. That battle should be fought some other way instead of overcharging the customer.
