Have they lowered the price?
Are they kicking out people that are too disruptive?
Are they cleaning the floors so I don’t feel like my shoes are getting glued to the floor with every step?
So all the things people have complained about are still there and a bunch of stuff no one wants is added to justify increasing the price are added. Good luck with that.

Anything except lowering prices, huh? Even just concession stands, we all know how cheap it actually costs to make popcorn and soda!

I’m okay with the prices. They’re high, but compared to how high other things have gotten, I don’t think it’s so bad. I just need something good in a theater to watch!
I enjoy the theater experience, but I haven’t gone in several months now because there is nothing to see. At least nothing that sparks my personal interest.
At one point in my life, I was going to the theater at least 2 times a month. I got the AMC pass because it made it cheaper. It was great! This was already at the time where I could buy a beer in the theater which was even better. There was just a plethora or good content.
Now all the content that I want to see is on a streaming service.

Popcorn is the only way they make money. Ticket revenue goes towards the film studios.
What do you suggest they do instead? Selling merch?

Is that really true? Could it be they spread this lie so people don’t boycott the concession stand completely?

Sorry, my comment wasn’t directed only at theaters, but anyone in the film entertainment business. I was just using soda and popcorn as an example of jacking up the price of things that are dirt-cheap. If people can’t afford to go to movies, and the same movie is losing money because no one sees them it seems like people don’t think it’s worth that price, no…?
