  I have heard that movie theaters make most of their money from their concession stands, and that the ticket sales largely go to the movie distributors.

  So, their business model is marking up popcorn.

    Husband was a manager at a movie theater, he told me this is exactly why concessions are so expensive.

    Same model applies to concert venues. Most of the ticket money goes to the artist

      Haven’t I heard artists complain that the ticket sales monopolies like Ticket Master suck up a lot of the money from ticket sales? Was that bad info?

    OK but what if I hate corporations and want them to burn?

      I imagine you’d only go to local movie theaters that show indie movies, then?

  The point is not to get goods to you in the most cost efficient way possible. The point is to seperate you from as much of your money as possible.

  I think strange in the opposite way, considering the countless people involved in producing the end product somewhere near you. And strange that cinema business model is merely to give people a nice place to eat the snacks.
