Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
Exploitive? C’mon mate, nobody is forcing you to watch new movies at the theater, or to eat hotdogs, candy, and popcorn while you’re there. The whole concept is outdated uncomfortable bullshit, and you have every right to abstain. At a minimum, go eat a meal before the movie and just fucking vibe without dumping wads of fat-soaked corn and carbonated sugar water into your gaping maw.
I don’t even bother with the big theaters anymore. I get my cinema fix from boutique neighborhood cinemas that play classics and offer dinner and a movie, and I pirate everything else for home viewing.
Corporate cinema sucks ass. You deserve to get price gouged if you haven’t figured that out yet.

And yet the entire Cinema industry is crying like babies cause “no one is going to the theater anymore”.
They can all go fuck themselves.
