They have to pay the salaries somehow for the people who work there, I've watched movies and there's only been a handful of people in the auditorium, so for the building to make money, they put a massive mark up on the consumables, take ya own munchies that's what I do |

I used to work for a well known cinema group. The only way cinemas make their money is from the food, drink and ice cream sales, plus a small percentage of ticket sales.
The majority of money taken for admission is actually paid to the companies who have made or distributed those films. Cinemas only 'rent' the reels for a period of time.
To safeguard their revenue, cinemas have the right to refuse entry to a screen of anyone who tries to enter with their own food and drink. |

Haven't been to the cinema for a few years. Think it was when I took our daughter to see Garfield 2.
Always end up sitting next to a screaming kid or someone that has a conversation all the way through.
Much rather wait till it comes on DVD...
