And that’s basically it!
The model has always been based on food sales from back in the early cinema days. Theaters have to pay a lot of money in fees to get the film reals, and tickets basically just offset that. To get a profit, it's food.
That was almost 100 years ago. If they haven't updated their business model in a century idk what to tell you; the model is outdated and inadequate.
If your business model fails because I'm not stupid enough to pay $18 for a small bucket of popcorn, your business doesn't deserve to exist 🤷
You can be mad at it, but that's the way the corn pops, fella.
I download cams and haven't paid for a movie ticket in over a decade. If they want me to buy tickets they can make movies that are worth the ticket value.
Maybe if that happens I'll return to the theater to balk at the snack prices lmao.
I'm not sure why you're taking exception with me for pointing out how an industry I have nothing to do with operates.
