    Well then they need to figure out a different arrangement with the studios then, selling overpriced popcorn is not a profitable business model, my local indie theater has fixed price tickets and their concessions include alcohol and THC products, it’s a better value for money than any of the chain theaters like AMC, Regal. Plus they run older cult classic Hollywood and international movies and it attracts a better crowded, not the loud people who are on their phones.

      It’s ironic, in my area a lot of small theatres had to close or pivot to arthouse cinemas once multiplex cinemas rolled in, but now we have a revival of the same small theatres since multiplexes have become obscenely expensive and are swarmed with obnoxious teenagers.
