No, they are way too expensive. A small popcorn and a soda costs $15 with tax at my nearest theater which is more than the damn ticket. I'll either sneak in my own snacks or just eat at home first.

When I was younger, my mom use to sneak stuff in. So I did, as well. When I went with my friends, I would also sneak stuff in. But since I had a card for the theater, I could sometimes get cheap/free stuff. So I did sometimes. I haven't been to an actual theater in probably years. But I might buy some stuff. And sneak in a little. At the theater on base, I do actually buy stuff. But that's because the money helps to keep the on base theater. Which kind of sucks because they're drinks aren't as cold as I would like. But, eh...

alamo drafthouse

I went there when I visited austin back in october. Still expensive, but at least its restaurant quality food, and not movie theater snacks.

I'll usually get a pop while I'm there (getting refills after the movie is over & while I'm waiting for the bus to pick me up helps), and I'll usually sneak a box of candy in as well, but that's it

I usually do, because I understand enough about how the business model of theaters actually works, and that they're mostly getting hardcore fucked by the studios on ticket prices. Meaning selling refreshments is about the only way they actually make money.

And if I want my local theater to continue being my local theater, as opposed to closing because it can no longer afford to pay their operating bills, I should probably try and support them directly rather than just giving them the 50 cents or so they're getting from my ticket sale.

this is very true. it's also what's baffling about most theaters how they serve absolute trash food and mark it up 10x. i'd imagine they'd have less of a problem if they served decent food that people will actually come back for, ok?

and seriously, why beer isn't mandatory in all these places is beyond me. i don't even mind that it's marked up. that's a ton of money these places just leave sitting on the table, ok?

Yeah, some of the places that serve alcohol or actual meals (like the Alamo or the like) are pretty nice.

Everytime I watch a movie at a theater I get either a popcorn or pop. Usually both, sometimes only one, depending on things.

There's a local theater here that serves alcohol. They also have showings of classic movies as well.

We often go out to eat right before a movie, when doing so usually no snacks. If we didn't eat before, usually grab some dollar store candy, might get soda and popcorn at the movie if we are feeling it. If going in a group I'll often bring in a 40, or a little 99c liquor or two to pour in a soda.

Only at the $3 second run theater, their snacks are sanely priced. Anywhere else we sneak stuff in

I dont go because the theatre is too expensive in general. Not for me. I just refuse to pay those prices when I can watch whatever it is for free later.

It will be a matter if i'm going alone or with someone. If i'm going out with a girl I'll get her some soda, popcorn and churros or something. But I never eat while watching a movie but I may grab a drink for myself in this case.
If I go alone I never grab anything to drink or eat unless i'm early then I'll grab some nachos but have them finished off before the movie starts.
