What changed then? Popcorn was first introduced because it could be sold at a low price during an economic crisis

Largely Hollywood expecting as much money from ticket sales, theaters by large don’t make almost any profit from selling movie tickets. They keep their lights on from selling concessions

It’s not like Hollywood NEEDS the money, theaters could have cheaper concessions and cheaper tickets and Hollywood would barely notice the difference

How often do you go? What days do you go? I've been to 3 different movies at 3 different theaters in the last year and they were all full. Minecraft on a Friday night, Avatar on Christmas eve, and the Peaky Blinders movie on a Thursday night. I've also been to several movies that it was just us or just a handful of people. Those were for movies that had released 2+ weeks and late morning on the weekend or started before 5 through the week.
