Why Is Movie Popcorn So Expensive? 🍿 #shorts

This $9 popcorn isn't a snack. It's the real ticket.

We peeled the sticker off a bucket of movie theater popcorn:
🎟️ About half of your ticket goes straight to the studio, and on a big opening weekend, even more
🏢 The theater still has to pay for rent, staff and giant screens with what's left
🍿 Popcorn is corn, oil, salt and a paper bucket. For every $1 you spend on snacks, the theater's cost is less than 20¢
🎬 And the studio doesn't get a cent of the snack money

The movie gets you in the door. The popcorn keeps the lights on.
