That's how the theatre makes their revenue

>pop

>not bringing your own icecream

That's how they make their money, Hollyjew takes all the box office monies
Also,
>pop

Same reason it costs 10 dollars for a beer at any concert/sporting event

>pop
>not coke

Theaters charge those high prices because they know idiots will pay high prices.

>coke
>not soda

It's called fizzy water not pop.

That's inaccurate, a beer requires constant cooling or a fountain/tap, popcorn isn't nearly as complicated.

Because you're dumb enough to still go to theaters in 2017.

because you'll pay that for it

Why do you think Sup Forums goes on about crab legs? They're the patrician choice of snack and are significantly cheaper (if you buy in bulk). Sort yourself out

Partly because supposedly they don't make money on ticket sales. That may be true from some companies, but other companies have because extremely jewish with higher ticket prices than even smaller theaters, so who is to say.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Because you pay for it. If nobody bought it, they would consider lowering the price. Something is only worth as much as people are willing to pay for it.

More importantly, why the fuck do you need to eat and drink shit while watching a movie ? Is this an american thing ?

Everyone knows you're supposed to sneak in Taco Bell and all your candy.

Bullshit. Tickets here in Germany are like 20€

>drinking an extra large drink so you have to take a piss an hour and a half into the movie

desu it helps me to pay attention for a long time

>that language
Well that explains everything. You're a thirdie.

>the prices of things vary depending on the wages of the populace

oh wow poland u really showed us by being really poor

:^)
also, poland doesn't even use euro you mongrels

>Price gouging is a pejorative term referring to when a seller spikes the prices of goods, services or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair, and is considered exploitative, potentially to an unethical extent.
Because they can.

Real answer: because the amount of money they make from fewer people buying expensive popcorn is greater than the money they would make from many people buying cheap popcorn.

On opening week a theater only gets 10% of ticket sales. Overcharging for popcorn and beverages, which are extremely inexpensive to sell, makes up the money.

Sufficient demand.

Oh no, you've got to make sure the fridge is turned on. What a bad counterpoint, popcorn is miles more complicated by comparison. You have to set the kernels, butter them, know how to operate the popper without burning the popcorn, then use a scooper to bag it up.

With beer you just pull a cold one out of the fridge, crack it open, then pour it into a cup. If you've got a fountain then you just get a cup and pour it into the cup. There is absolutely no reason why it should be ten dollars other than because they know most of us will pay for it anyways.

>racist germany
>1st world

Do Americans really call bubbly wubby drink and sippy, """pop"""

Because people actually think its a good deal to pay 4 bucks for 2 liters of soda in a cup.

No, it's because they get fucked on the ticket margins

For me it's crab legs

Because Hollywood is slowly destroying theaters by being greedy bastards. It's the only way for theaters to make any real money since nearly every bit of ticket sales go back to the studio.

It's funny too since when they release their shit in China theaters get way more profit off of it. It's clear at this point that Hollywood is eating itself alive.

>Unironically paying for theater food
Just bring in a bottle of water and maybe keep a Powerbar in your pocket if it's a long one and you feel like you might want a snack

RIP giant enemy crab

>can get a large pop and popcorn for $5 at my local theater
>they also have a special on sunday night showings that gives you 2 tickets, 2 drinks, and a medium popcorn for $15

I'll be honest, I haven't bought anything from the movies in years, I normally go like once a month but I've never bought a ticket. I just walk in cause they don't check them or care. If it was a local business I'd pay but it's a big franchise. For food I take in a kebab from the shop next door, and for a drink I take in a resealable can of Monster Import that is 70/30 Monster/Vodka

>not bringing your fanny pack to store snacks and soda

Whatre you gay?

(OP) money

>calling any soda 'coke'

Howdoyoudo fellow wetback?

>not bringing your own snacks
People actually do this?

b8 unless 3rd world local theather

how much do i have to tip movie staff?

its a volunteer run theater that gets one movie a weekend

Make your own popcorn at home and sneak it in. The secret ingredients are coconut oil and flavacol. You might want to also find the "popcorn topping" that they use, but I use real butter. Better than the real thing.

32nd post, best post

>You might want to also find the "popcorn topping" that they use

It comes in a giant tub labeled OIL.

a certain percent of the population has either lots of excess money or zero impulse control and they are held hostage by theaters pretending it takes 4 months to get a home blue ray out.

1. You deserve to be overcharged and anally raped because you call soda "pop".
2. It's because theaters make most of their profits selling soda and popcorn. If they were to charge you normal prices, most wouldn't be able to stay afloat.

mmm... delicious "oil."

t. 15 year old who eats dinner with his family before they go to the movies on a saturday night

>he doesn't bring in his own

I eat chicken sandwiches and eat mix drinks in the theater

Doesn't cost that where I live.

Hell, if I go to a matinée, I can get a large popcorn, candy, and a drink on top of the ticket for under $25.

>he doesn't call it a pop

kys

>pop
Americans literally sound like children trying to speak english.

Only Midwesterners call it "pop." Southerners call it all coke regardless of brand or flavor. Everyone else calls it "soda."

>Southerners call it all coke regardless of brand or flavor

We fucking do not. Maybe in Alabama or Georgia where they have third world cities but not anywhere else. It's been "soda" my whole life and for the life of my relatives. No we're not Northern transplants either. Every restaurant I've ever been to from WV, VA, SC and TN calls it soda too.

popvssoda.com/ says otherwise, at least with regard to TN and SC.
