Theaters gets most of their money from concessions. Is sneaking food into a movie theater just as bad as piracy?

Yes, I always make a point to spend at least $15 to support AMC

Absolutely. If you don't spend at least $30 on food alone, then you support terrorism and hate democracy. And look at that shit, you got an apple drink in your pocket. Fucking way too healthy for a cinema experience.

A lot of new releases, the theatres are under contract to give the studios ALL of the profits for the first month or so.

The real crime is wearing cargo pants past 12 years old.

i normally bring a tub of stew and a half loaf of french bread.
>>
>>64278353
It's fine to wear cargo pants if you are:

1. Camping
2. Hiking
3. Renovating a house
4. Clearing land of brush and scrub

In any other occasion, wearing cargo pants, and especially cargo shorts, should be punished by thirty lashes.

Having worked in several for a few years...They could operate on tickets alone if they needed to.
But it would be more profitable to sell ovepriced items.

Just like theme parks COULD sell shit cheaper, but why the fuck would they? Where are you going to eat? outside of the park?

I go to the theater and buy their $10 coke and popcorn. but then leave without buying a ticket and watching a movie, I go back home and pirate it.

Cargo pants are the bomb. :^)

I really wish theaters would just start charging a bit more for the ticket and stop serving food completely. I hate going to see movies at the theater because I have to listen to fat fucks crinkling food rappers and smacking their lips because they're incapable of watching a movie without stuffing their faces.

because they charge insane amounts for them. i dont buy that they're struggling in any way, every screening where more than ten people show up is a couple of hundred dollars for them. and what do they have in the way of operational costs, cleaning shit up? running maintenance on projectors? ordering a bunch of 3d glasses and crap? none of this justifies a large popcorn costing more than a ticket

The theaters in Arizona, Harkins, sell collector T-Shirts and Cups.
You buy the T-shirt, and if you bring it, you get a free medium popcorn. You don't have to wear it, you just have to have it.
If you buy the cup, you get $1.50 refills.
Both of these last all year. They're just about the best thing.
I all but refuse to see movies elsewhere because holy shit spending $1.50 and getting popcorn and a soda that shit is bananas.

I had to eat mess deck food for 10 months on a ship. Even that slop was better to eat than the 10 days I hate to eat MRE's. Eating an MRE after the 2nd or 3rd day felt like eating candy to feed hunger. Your caloric intake was met but it felt so empty. Kinda weird trying to explain it but i'll gladly never eat another MRE again.

>>64279539

This. MREs aren't made to be eaten when you're just fucking around at the house. They're only ideal if you have no other options or if you're in a combat zone where you don't get many opportunities to eat. That's why they're loaded with so many calories. If you manage to eat one in a war zone you're good for a while
>>
>>64279941
Uh I can't say I agree with the fullness part. It was generally the repeated meals that caused problems.
That and some people got massively constipated or usually hhad the shits.
After a week or so I end up becoming super regular, like 7-8pm on the dot every night after being constipated for 3-4 days.
>>
So many times I have gone to the movies with some extra cash in my pocket, and I say "Fuck it, THIS TIME I am going to get some popcorn--

Fuck that!
I just realized I have NEVER actually bought popcorn at the movies. In my entire life. Meant to. Intended to. But in the end. Just too cheap.
I'll keep my $6 and they can keep their 500 calories.

Guess people react different to the shit in MREs. Lot of the guys I was with had the same reaction. We were eating and getting full but it felt completely empty in terms of satisfaction. Like I could eat a fucking big mac combo and be satisfied. But even the southwest chili MRE with the jalapeno and cracker wombo combo would leave me feeling empty.

I worked for two different movie theater companies and they both had the express policy that they allowed outside food. Since then I almost always bring a drink with me when I go to movies and I've never been hassled.

They don't
Movie Popcorn became a staple because it made the industry viable for the theater, not because it was actually good or anything.
I used to work at a theater and they had at least 30 or so giant bags of kernels in the back. The profit margin is ridiculous.
Its like saying 'how can they make money otherwise" and the truth is they can't.
Hollywood made it this way.
I suggest no one ever buy any food at concessions. If you really must eat, eat after. There will be enough idiots who buy crap to keep theaters in your area anyways, you don't have to be one of them. Especially when they charge 3.50 for a small soda that you can't refill.

Does anyone else have retards taking tickets at their theaters? There's always another employee with the retard to make sure they dont fuck up, so im not sure what they point it, perhaps the theater gets extra money for hiring retards

We have one guy who is parapalegic and seems kinda slow but at least can rip a ticket in half and point at the correct theater, made small talk once about the rain. He's actually been at the same theater for almost a decade now, it's actually kinda nice to see his face almost everytime I walk in.

I stopped getting food at movies

Even if you get a large ass nacho, you're going to be done with it in no more than 10 minutes.

So either 10 minutes of a 90+min movie

Or, if you can't wait, it'll be done midway through the previews.

It is not socially acceptable for men to carry purses. If cargo pants aren't allowed either, how are you supposed to carry shit?
>>
the real pro move is to sneak into the movies and then pay for popcorn and soda.
>>
>>64285687

I said I stopped getting food, not going to the movies.

What's the point? You'd get much better food and a much better deal just going to a restaurant after you eat, instead of trying to cram both together.
>>
>>64278639
hey ex military here ur a fucking tool
>>
>>64285721

This is actually kind of an interesting tactic

If you just walk by the ticket guy holding a big popcorn and soda, very casually, acting like you were already in theater and went out to get food, there's a chance he'll just let you go

I mean, you still had to pay for food, but at least you got rid of ticket price

Sneaking hotdogs in is pretty bad. Just eat some candy and a can of coke you had in your pockets. I'm talking to everyone that tries to bring a meal into theaters.

>>64285857
>1200 calories

Sounds like a snack to me I don't know what the problem is.
>>
>>64285857
78 grams of extra butter, plus extra popcorn, is only less than 300 calories more?
>>
>>64286090

Isnt popcorn without any butter one of the most calorically low snack options?
>>
>>64286090

No, that sounds about right. The thing is that the butter they put on top isn't really much at all (they drizzle some on and it's gone once you eat the top layer) and all of the popcorn they serve was popped in butter anyway.
>>
>>64286193
Read the image, it says there is 78 grams of butter added, in their example
>>
>>64286191

It is, but movie theater popcorn with "no butter" just means no extra butter topping. The popcorn itself is already buttered with fake butter chemicals, which is why it's yellow.

>going to a restaurant after you eat

What's the most patrician movie theater meal?

>Small Popcorn w/ extra butter
This is to start things off, you get to watch the previews while eating

>3 Large Nachos all with extra cheese

This lasts you the whole movie with little breaks in between

>Large Pepsi in a cool collectible cup with tons of ice

This also lasts you the entire movie and you get a cool souvenir.
>>
>>64286227

Yeah, someone fucked up. That should add just over 500 calories alone, not counting the extra popcorn in the bag.

I don't really mind all the shit. Because people are retarded, and that's not news. But why get a 1000 litres soda to the cinema? You'll have to spend more time at the bathroom pissing, than watching the film itself.

My grandma used to do that shit and it pissed me off. She would tell me to just leave garbage on the floor and refused to listen when I told her that's a shitty thing to do intentionally. It's someone's job to clean up errant spills and crumbs, not to pick up the trash of every single moviegoer. Otherwise there wouldn't be trash cans available for public use.

I used to work at a movie theater, but I could honestly give less than a shit if people snuck in food, as long as they pick up after themselves it's fine by me.

People would bring in beer, wine bottles, chick-fil-a, McDonalds, etc. We'd occasionally see people who are really bad at hiding food, and we're SUPPOSED to, by the handbook to go tell them to dispose of the food or eat it in the lobby. But nobody I worked with enforced that so everyone was real nice to us otherwise.
