grey ghost Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lol I'm just curious what concession items do your guys' theatres sell? Mine is a small theatre so we only got popcorn, fountain drinks, candy, nachos cotton candy, and ice cream (Hagan Das and drumsticks etc). But I know my friend has a frozen yogurt bar at his. I avoid the concession stand like the plague. I don't have money to spend 30 dollars on snacks and soda. The grocery store next to my theater sells junior mints and other snacks for a dollar each.

DAJK Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Cotton Candy? That's a new one Yea we make it every two days usually, every 3 when it's slow. Just pink and blue, but for Minions we're going to start doing yellow, but I'm kind of excited for Pixels because we're doing the "4 flavors in one bag" to represent like, the ghosts in Pac-Man, that might look cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirafficPark Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) That sounds like an insane UK debut. What were the comparable DM2 numbers? Many people have been saying it, but I really do think Minions will basically play like DM3. It's just going to be a worldwide monster from now until July 17, and even with big competition, its going to make A LOT of money! DM2 was $22M, similar exchange rate.

DAJK Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I avoid the concession stand like the plague. I don't have money to spend 30 dollars on snacks and soda. The grocery store next to my theater sells junior mints and other snacks for a dollar each. I don't blame you honestly. Sometimes it's hard working in there because literally every customer is mad at you (me) personally for the prices. "Guys come on, I just work here" (I feel like that kid from JW who works at the gyrosphere. Seriously sir, I'm sorry you spent $70 at concession but you're the one who bought 4 large popcorns, 4 large drinks, 2 plates of nachos, a bag of candy for each of those popcorns, and 3 cotton candies for your kids. Lol I get a lot of "f*** this, or this is a f**** highway robbery, or in one case f*** you". But it's fun working there lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This! I also watched Minions yesterday and it was super boring, I can't believe how bad this movie was, and I'm a big Minions fan. Even my little sister fell asleep watching, lol. I saw Minions yesterday too, and my audience ate it up, so I don't think it'll have bag legs.

We were supposed to start selling pizza but I don't know what happened to that. I wish we had because with my staff card I could have gotten it for so much cheaper than say Panago or Little Ceasers even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have to kick people out often for being drunk in a theatre and causing disruptions? We don't sell alcohol but we've had to kick people out for getting drunk in an auditorium...
