Bishop54 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If I get anything when I go to the movies its a soda. I don't feel the need to have something into eat while I'm watching a movie Same with me, plus I'm afraid if I eat I'll need to use the rest room and miss part of the film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I remember my family bringing in outside concessions to Star Wars Episode I in 1999, and that wasn't even the first time we did it, so high concession prices are obviously nothing new. (Though I don't recall theaters being as strict then - or at least they didn't put up signs. Possibly because ticket sales were so good during 1998-04 that it made up for any lost snack revenue? I feel like the signs started going up right around the time that ticket sales started declining and DLP/3D/PLF started coming in - lost ticket revenue + equipment upgrade costs = need for more concession sales?)

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 But nothing yet for FF7. Don't tell me it ended its run too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 July has so many movies that I want to see this year its a bummer because I know I'm gonna have to skip one or two movies that I would like to see...

Alpha Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Concession prices at movie theaters are always high because the theaters don't get paid enough by the studio. I think they only get a small percentage cut of the gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really taking crossovers to unprecedented levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) eat before sneak in some garnola bars and candy and eat real food after . Theaters are a already a rip off with the ticket prices. Price for popcorn and coke I can buy pizza for 2-3 guys and drinks after. Before any one moralizing me about I should not bring in outside food, I have no patience for such moral nonsense.

Mango Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 IO $300m chances now? Pretty good, I'd say. Minions will hurt it but it's going to be the go-to family film over the holiday week coming up which will be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sorry, it did end its run (or at least Universal stopped tracking it). I think the tracking is on a pause...so it's not the end of its run, probably. Even FF5 & FF6 ended their runs later than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 IO $300m chances now? IO made almost 50 million more than Up in the first 10 days, and that finished with 293M. Up's legs were great, but i think 300M is a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
