The obvious answer is that once you step into the cinema, they gain a monopoly. They are able to charge unfair prices and people will still buy it due to the inelasitcity of the product (people will buy it almost regardless of the price within reason) and the lack of competition which would naturally drive down the price. I belive that this is the answer to the title. There are other arguments, however, including the possibility that the cost accounts for the cleaners. If you don't buy popcorn, you're less likely to make a mess but if you do, somebody must clear it up so it's an easy mechanism to counteract litter issues the cinema may encounter. You could also think that the demographic of movie-goers is quite homogenous so these types of people have a high amount of welfare to be gained from the film thus are willing to pay extra to improve the experience. I probably put a bit too much effort into this comment but whatever

@James Pietsch you didn't understand my comment. read it again and try to understand it with your tiny brain

Having worked for a theater company I know the old joke "we're a candy store that shows movies". Popcorn per box is pennies. Jumbo sodas that sell for $2.00 get .25 of ingredients including the cup. It's all profit. The movie itself may or may not make anything so concessions is the bread and butter lol. It's a strange biz and what it cost to show a film varies with distributor and state. Disney is evil BTW.

AMC theater where I go to, just for a small soda it's $6... For combo for a large popcorn and a drink is $20. For candy it is anywhere from $5-10. Also a movie ticket can be up to $15. I had to pay around 80-100$ for me and my two friends with popcorn.....

30 years ago I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. At that base theater, movies was a $1.25 but your ship could subsidize the cost down to .60 cents. Back then you could(and I did) go to the McDonald's on base, get a value meal, plus apple pie, and take the whole bag, out in the open, into the theater. Chow down, and as long as you took your trash out with you it was cool. Man, do I miss that!

I'm from NYC, US, and I spring for the popcorn and drink when I see a film.

8:13 why are ALL the people so much bigger than the doors lmao

Well here in Puerto Rico it's if you buy two adult tickets and two medium size popcorn combo it's around 30$ it tops at 40$ or 50$ if you want to see it in 4DX,CXC or imax

Here are the costs on Spain: • Tickets: 6$ / 4$ on Tuesday. • Soda/Drinks: - Small: 1.50$ - Medium: 2.20$ - Big: 2.90$ • PopCorn: - Pretty much the same as soda, maybe a little bit more (like 20 or 30 cents more) Overall for me cinema costs around 8-10$

I am dissipointed that some people still don't understand that you can snuggle in snacks and drinks. Woukd you rather A, spend extra money and wait in long lines for theater door. Or b, bring snacks you prefer and save money.

So good

I remember one time I smuggled a whole 4 large DQ blizzard I think Oreo and Reese's too but yeah 😂, pro tip just bring a metal vacuum bottle or just a metal tumbler do not use clear plastic ever, I can even bring beer to the movie theater nobody ever checks the metal bottle

It sucks that popcorn is so expensive

There are restaurants and arcades in some of the theatre cinemas now. The idea is the more you stay the more you spend.

That's good to know.

Lol these prices 😂 here in Switzerland, we pay about 17.- (~16 usd) for a movie ticket and for a big popcorn, which is maybe a medium in the u.s., we payc 10.- (~9.50 us)

This is a 10 minute video about how expensive popcorn is at movie theaters... And I'll watch every second

American Movie theaters have the wrong Business model. Here where i live (Paraguay), Movie theaters are build in Shopping Malls instead of being build as separate buildings. This brings in more clientele for the Mall it self and the Theater it self is more sustainable as a business as there is an entire Shopping mall sustaining the Theater instead of a Puny concession stand.

My local theatre lets you bring in any of your own food and drink and the tickets are $10...I love that place

This channel is basically a better life’s Biggest question

WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! I am at the cinema and just bought popcorn. 3 seconds later I get a notification

The most expensive movie ticket is NRs 490, comparable to USD 4.9. Also, consider the fact that my country is a under developed with a medium HDI. That is expensive here.

6:52 .. Corn was first grown 8000 years from now. The more you know.

The Worst part is the length of advertisements before the movie, because your popcorn is already finished

7:00 10k AD??

So do we have dinosaurs in 10,000 AD? I would like one to be my pet. A small mistake but still funny.

If the ticket is sold for $25 … then no need for concession stand. But tickets are $8. So to survive. You have to sell popcorn!

The smell of popcorn in the multiplex makes me hungry....

In India, recently the Supreme Court of India ruled in against of prohibiting eatables into the theatre. So now since 1st of August 2017, we are allowed to take our own eatables into a movie theaters

I sometimes sneak in food from home. But I always buy an icee at the movies

Okay but what about beer and snacks at a baseball game.

Watching this while eating my popcorn

Do Artillery only

A long time ago, production companies would also own the movie theaters where tickets, and I believe concessions, too, were cheaper. The Supreme Court handed down an anti-trust law that stopped production companies from doing that and then movie theaters were their own entity, but now they had to bid for the rights to show that movie. This is why 80% of ticket revenue goes to the production companies and movie theaters raise the price of their concessions.

Rixon? -Dixon Hahahaa

Where I live tickets are 9€ and 7€ on Tuesdays only Popcorn is 3€ for medium Soda is 2€ for medium

Go to around 6:55, why do you have 10,000 AD? It's wrong. It should be 10,000 BC.

I used to work at the movie theatre 7 yrs PT, concession is where our payroll comes from, thats why is pricey

There's two mistakes at 7:00 btw, it says popcorn was first grown in 10,000 AD, while the narration says it was 10,000 years ago. Not only is the epoch wrong, 10,000 years ago would be 8,000 BC.

Most of the time I'll get popcorn and a soda. But if money's an issue or if I'm running late, I'll usually just grab a soda from the lobby's vending machine - I can go 2.5 hours without eating, but I do get parched if I don't have something to drink.

This why rath rather wait for a DVD new release or being available on a streaming service then going to the movies 200 bucks to watch movie ruin and ect But popcorn good

They often stink of your fellow patrons BO or some nasty hot dog or something and you don't have to deal with crying babies/talking/sounds of 20 people crinkling things and eating. Also if you are watching a scary movie absolutely nothing beats alone at night on your computer with headphones.

There is a small error at 7:00. It shows 10000 AD instead of 10000 years ago

Since i live in a small city there is nobody seling popcorn at the movie theather , you just buy them in a store near the theather and nobody will stop you , even the guy who checks the tickets and of 1 kg of popcorn is the equivalent of 2 dolars but you have to share it with friends
