Sneaky Ways Movie Theaters Get You To Spend More Money

Ойын-сауық

Between ticket prices and concessions, movie theaters are expensive. But movie theater chains like AMC and Regal only keep around 50% of the revenue from ticket sales each year. But theaters are able to keep over 80% of concessions revenue as profit. So most theaters are designed to get you to spend money on food. And it works, AMC reports that more than 71% of attendees spend money on concessions.

    The theatre I used to work at had rent of like five thousand dollars every couple of weeks. That was after they negotiated a discount. Also, the utility (air, water, electric) costs to keep the building running was crazy. For example, each projector bulb was almost a thousand dollars and that needed replacing every 800 hours or so with the projectors running 12 hours or more some days. Plus you have staffing costs and food costs for ordering and damaged foods thrown away. Not to mention the studios charge sending you the movie and showing it. There were some weeks we would be in the red as far as profit after everything. So yes it costs a lot for concessions, but a lot goes on behind the scenes that you purchase helps.

    The theater I worked at had dollar shows when the normal ticket prices were about 5-6 bucks. They literally made nothing on the ticket sale, but more than made up with it on concessions. They concessions were much higher than the nicer full priced theaters, and as I recall, the cost on a large popcorn or drink (which then, were about $5 and $3, respectively) was about 10 cents, including the product and the container. When I was scheduled to be an usher or ticket taker for the night, as long as you made some attempt to hide the fact that you were sneaking in food, I didn't care- the theater was making plenty of money on the people who bought stuff. One young girl walked past me without making an attempt to hide food and I had to stop her, because I could get in trouble for letting her in with obvious food. She literally started crying saying she didn't have money to buy anything and was too embarrassed to ask her friends who had already gone in the theater. I told her to go outside, to conceal it and not carry it through the lobby in plain sight, and I would let her in without issue. I will never forget the goofy smile she had on her face as she came back in and walked by me, like the two of us just pulled off the heist of the century.

    The main theater chain in my area (Marcus Theaters) offers some nice discount deals of $5 Tuesdays and $6 student Thursdays for admissions and on those days they offer a free small popcorn which I take advantage of. They also send out coupons for food at times. I remember one time they opened up a new theater nearby and they sent everyone in my apartment a sheet of coupons and many people just threw them away in the trash nearby the mailbox so I grabbed a bunch of them and was able to get a bunch of free drinks, burgers and popcorn using those. I even got lucky with one of the free popcorn coupons and one of the workers gave me a plastic reusable refillable popcorn bucket instead of the paper non-refillable one lol.

    I used to work at a cinema in the UK. Had a father with large family, irate with the cost of the tickets and food, and took it out on me, a minimum wage drone. After months of this, I had enough, and decided to talk back to this particular man. I didn't know the actual facts, but made some numbers up to sound plausible. Note: Words are not verbatim, but it's close enough to what I said; it was almost 20 years ago... Me: Well, first of all, you chose to come here for entertainment. You could go somewhere else. Also, we (the cinema) don't get much money. A high percentage of your money goes to the film studios, you know, the company who spends MILLIONS on making the film in the first place. We only get 20%, if we're lucky. Let's see here, your screening has sold 40 tickets so far today. That means we (the cinema) will earn approximately £45. That's barely enough to cover for the electricity, rent and our wages. That's why the food is expensive, which is also a choice. You choose to buy it or not. Customer was stunned silent, wasn't expecting a well thought-out answer to a nameless face behind the box office. He walked away quietly.

    but good work you weren't too far off with that, but sometimes perception is the reality for outsiders but those of us that worked or still work at these places know the score, the owner of the drive in I worked at from 1996 to 1999 shared with me my first summer that information, because I asked, :well we sold out last night, on a film that got panned by the local reviewer, so we did pretty good, he said no, Universal did pretty good, and then shared the economics with me a first year employee, I took it as a second job so I wasn't trying to live off it, but I had a new respect for the snack bar, and after I left I stayed a customer for a long time even until today and I always make sure to support the snack bar, and their prices aren't really that bad as compared to the walk in theaters, and they weren't when I worked there either

    I love free refills on sodas and buying candy and icees at movies!!! Going to the movies is fun in the summer time when you're in state or out of state!!! Sometimes I buy nachos and Hotdogs if I have extra money!!! In my state of Georgia we got the Georgia theater company and their similar to Regal and AMC but alot smaller and I remember we used to have them cheap $1.00 and $0.99 theaters in Warner Robins before they all shut down in 2014!!! Them $1.00 and $0.99 were for movies that if you missed it in the Big theater or wanted to see it again you would see the movie that wanted to see but just for cheap money or if you didn't want to go to big money theater just to go to a cheap movie to spend less to go the movie you wanted to see for less. I was into movies for a long time and boy it was a trip!!!

    My ex was a manager at a movie theater for years and he told me this however the movie theaters want movies to stay in their theater as long as possible because they make more money on them. The other way that if the movie is a highly promoted movie (big expected blockbuster) they actually make very little money in the first few weeks.

    Those of you who worked in the theaters, remember that 50% of the Box Office was about average. I recall some Disney films claiming 80% or more of the Box Office. Then we relied entirely on concession sales. Then the "4-wall deals" when a company, usually the distributor would pay a flat fee for use of the theater and our staff. They took 100% of the Box Office. Sometimes we were allowed concession sales, sometimes not. This video brought back a bazillion memories from selling popcorn at the Hollywood Pussycat theater to managing a theater in East Los Angeles. lotta memories. Thank you.

    There used to be a movie theater near me that charged a bit more for tickets, but because of that, the prices on food and drinks were lower. $4 for popcorn instead of $8. They also didn't have any commercials before the trailers, just nice relaxing music, which was great. Unfortunately they closed down due to shutting down for almost a year during COVID. They simply weren't able to stay in business after that. RIP

    In Australia we have something called Gold Class. Think business class in flying but with a movie theatre. It’s basically a cinema with a kitchen. A quarter the amount of seats, the recliner seats are in pairs of two’s with a table in between and you can basically order alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, food such as sliders, tacos, buffalo wings and desserts such as Churros, sundaes, chocolate do fondue and basically the attendants bring it in to you. You can ask for it to be spaced out or brought whenever. The ticket is more expensive than a regular ticket and more expensive than a VMax. The food is priced pretty standard. It’s not fine dining but it’s pretty good for a date!

    Really enjoy the video and definitely can relate to it. Besides being a moviegoer, I'm also an equity analyst, whose coverage including cinemas in Indonesia like Cinema XXI and CGV. The same apply here. Almost 2/3 of their revenues come from movie tickets (named gross box office). After subtracting 10% tax, the box office revenue then be shared 50:50 with production house (for local movies) or distributors (for Hollywood & international movies). That's why the gross margin of movie segment is always stable over time. The F&B segment accounts for roughly 30% of revenues, but is the biggest contributor to profit due to its higher gross margin, up to 75%. That's why cinemas will keep trying to "push" moviegoers to buy more and more F&B. Other sources of revenues are ads before the movie begins and convenience fee for buying movie tickets from app. But these are relatively small. One differentiator between movie industry in Indonesia and other countries is that Cinema XXI really dominates the business with >50% market share in terms of the nr of cinemas, screens, and gross box office.

    Some great comments I’ve read. My friend and I just went to a movie recently, and I don’t know if she just doesn’t get out much, or what, but she was all concerned because I was gonna bring some snacks in. I kind of forgot. Well we did bring a couple things of candy but, we also bought some things there. My favorite thing to get is those big soft pretzels with a nacho cheese. Just something I can’t make it home. And let’s not forget the popcorn smell. My friend was all like, I don’t think we should bring the stuff in, and I was telling her well they’re not the movie police, they’re not gonna check your bag. Which they didn’t. About the only thing that I really like to sneak in is the boxed candy. You can get it for a dollar at any convenience store or target or Walgreens but yet, they charge you a five times as much at The theater. And I just can’t justify that. I loved the comment about a family bringing in an entire pizza or somebody who is snuck in a rotisserie chicken oh my gosh, how genius.

    I'm glad this video is actually explaining why and not bashing it blindly. Yes, if you're going to make a disgusting mess and leave your trash everywhere I am going to care very much. If you sneak in a small candy and take the packaging with you, no I do not, although buying something helps keep us alive, especially independents. We only have scheduled time to clean whatever normal popcorn candy or soda between movie turnarounds. If an employee cannot clean it entirely within that time, it's their fault and hours or employees may be cut to prioritize theater gains. So if you're going to sneak something, don't make it obvious, don't leave it everywhere, DO NOT throw your leftover popcorn on the ground and just don't be a disgusting piece of garbage. Take it out with you to THE GARBAGE CANS you have to walk past before you get in the theater. And do not bring full meals or food in there, it makes it smell gross. Like they said, if you're too cheap or actually need to save money, just eat beforehand. Think about someone else for once, like the employees that have to put up with awful behavior on a near daily basis.

    Guess I’m lucky having a small, local theater. They just upgraded their screens, went last month with 4 people, for the 4 tickets was under $30 which surprised me. Granted, their snacks are a bit overpriced, but being locally owned and the low ticket prices, it’s not too bad. We always got out to eat before the movie, so the snacks are just that, snacks, not trying to make an entire meal at the theater.
