Does the price of Popcorn etc put you off going to the Cinema?!


Question: Does the price of Popcorn etc put you off going to the Cinema!?
Answers:
Not really!. I don't buy food form the theaters, but they have to make their money off of concessions!. Believe it or not, they don't make much money off the tickets, because in the first week of a film's release, when it makes most of its money, the movie companies get 90% of the ticket sales and then the theater gets 10% (and it goes to 80% and 20% the second week, and so on, till it stays at 60/40, if the movie is even still in theaters by then) - so out of a $7 movie ticket, the theater only gets 70 cents, and then when you take into account all the overhead operating costs, the theaters are either just barely breaking even, or sometimes even losing money, on ticket sales!. Therefore, it's necessary for them to make most, if not all, of their profit through concession sales!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

With all the latest technology that is available, it's just as good to watch a big movie at home and have all the comforts around you!. Fair enough, you will not see the blockbusters when they are released, but I object to paying over the top prices for a ticket!. I agree that the cost of popcorn and drinks can more than double the price that you will pay to go and see a movie!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, it just puts me off buying popcorn from the cinema!. And near most cinema's there are shops where you can buy a bag of popcorn at a more reasonable price!. In my local shopping centre anyway (London)!. Problem solved!.
But the prices are ridiculous, totally agree!.
Thank you :-)Www@Enter-QA@Com

yes , the dirt on the floors, gum, noise, cost of food, and sometimes parking, means we have just about stopped going to movies, we just wait for them to come to satellite or I d/l them with Licensed Pay site I Joined, so I have the right to d/l movies for my own personal use, and not to sell!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

its just the whole thing aint it!?
Tickets are expensive, drinks and food are!.
If their charging so much they could at least spend some of that cash on re-upholsting those seats and carpets, get some air conditioning and heaters for the winter time!.

It does take the mickey a but doesnt it!?

I sneak my own food and drink in!!!

Now i just need to get working on that underground tunnel so i dont have to pay to get in!!

I got a great deal from Blockbuster several years ago since my daughter & I watched so many movies in her junior year in high school & I wait til they come out & rent what I want & get a rental free!. It's not necessarily got to be a new one for the deal!. Movies are a rip off I think!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

for a ticket its £6!.50
then for a drink and nachos is another like £7!.50
