Your $8 of Movie Snacks Costs the Theater $1.50

For every dollar of tickets, AMC paid the studio about 48 cents. For every dollar of food and drinks, it paid only about 20 cents. So the $7 or $8 you spend at the snack counter costs AMC only about $1.50 in food, and the average US customer now spends almost $9 there.
