Sized drink I like to get.
I asked for a "small."
"Would you like an upgrade to medium for 50-cents?"
"How many ounces if small?"
"32 ounces."
2 quarts of soda… small??
$11.75 for a medium soft drink and medium popcorn on Monday. I've just gotten immune to concession prices.
In 1968 I was a student worker at the Louisiana Dept of Revenue. I filed tax returns into folders. Real interesting huh? Being an accounting major I often looked at profit and loss statement attached to partnership returns. The owners of several of Baton Rouge's theaters (I believe they owned 3 of the 5 or 6 we had back then) filed as a partnership. Revenues were broken down between ticket receipts and concessions. Guess which was higher by nearly an order of magnitude? I can only imagine the disparity today.
FTR, even tho big BR was far from a booming metropolis, those theaters were knocked out gorgeous, all of em.

"E burres stigano"
w/inflation (not to mention production prices…) so 'plexes have to make it somewhere. Same idea as restaurants: entrees haven't risen, much, but appetizers, desserts, and booze will kill you.
For six months, I worked at the Oregon Dept of Revenue! You can guess why it doesn't like using an acronym...

...unusual.
I can't watch a movie a the multiplex without a popcorn and drink.
It's part of the experience I enjoy as much as the film.
are 16-ounces.
Haven't compared popcorn sizes.
Anyhow, 90% of my attendance is at one of the six-screens of our local art film-plex. We're fortunate for a town this size to have an excellent resource like that, especially considering the art theater has been closing all over America for many years now.
...no Regals around here - just Cinemarks.
The 5 screen historic art film house Cinemadome was torn down a year ago to become Dick's Sporting Goods.
highest around the metro. Cinemark less so but no refills and Malco prices are in between with some refills. I get exasperated with Regal as it seems something has gone up $.25 or $.50 week. They even got stingy with their bonus points for a while. I have around 10,000. I live there.
...make all their money - the concessions.
Not on tickets because they pay a high film rental fee.
but has concession prices are as much as a dollar cheaper on the larger sizes. Six of one, half dozen . .
I find it more enticing to pay a higher ticket charge and see lower concession prices. Just my slant. I have noticed that Regal gives out less free concessions and MORE free tickets. I would rather get the free concessions and upgrade but obviously they find people are more likely to buy high-priced concessions if they walk in free.
