I agree with you.
Years ago, I part-timed as a projectionist while stationed at Cherry Point in the Marines.
The manager there said they made NO money on the movie ticket sales (barely any at the most) after the cost of paying to show the film, and they made all their profit on snack sales. That made sense to me and explains why the snack prices are so high.
However, it doesn't matter, the point is the movie theaters will only remain open if they can find a price point that makes a profit.
I guess will could vote in welfare for Movie Theaters to compensate theaters when they price it where people want it priced and lose money - LOL!
