watch the netflix documentary for a better explanation. long story short, preasure for short term profits at blockbuster had them remove the ceo and bring in the former ceo of 7-11 who killed the dvd mailing business that was losing money but crushing netflix on growth and market share. netflix lived because of stupid short sighted profits.
it's also why the streaming took off. moron execs feeding netflix cheap as fuck content for long periods like starz selling a assload of disney and fox titles for a measly 30 million. these assholes in their short sightedness created the thing they cannot compete with or kill.

I mean concessions is how theaters make money. It's not like their shit hasn't been overpriced for decades.

Sure but, $5 shit isn't getting anyone in the theater. Might as well lower that and get some sort of revenue going.

Why do you think a lot of us were saying it was cheaper to watch Mulan for 30 bucks than taking your kids to the theater? Hell tickets alone, non-matinee, are like 10 bucks. 5 dollar drink is probably like 2.50 off. They stack the price on the small drinks and popcorn. It'll be like a buck or something to upsize. I mean I can't remember the last time I bought food at a theater. I usually pocket a bottle of water and grab some sour patch kids at the gas station.

I thought that was all for 5 bucks. Cuz 5 dollar drink and popcorn is alright. Not each though. They can fuck off.

No way they have the nerve to charge 5 for just the drink, isint that more than pre covid?
I'm not stepping foot in any of them until they drop the retarded mask req. anyways. They can keep the lower density though, I never want a stranger next to me at a movie show pre or post covid.

I bought a Whirley POP from Bed&Bath for like $20. Put in some oil and popcorn, put on stovetop, turn crank, you have fresh popcorn in a few minutes that beats the shit out of microwave popcorn.
