| Millie, the point about ticket prices not making the movie theatres anything could just as easily be turned around into saying that the snacks make them nothing, all the snack profits go towards costs of running the place. Or are you saying that the silver city near me has to pay $13 to whichever movie company made a given move per person that sees it, and the theatre on the other end of town only pays $8.50? My point was this: The movie theatres needed/wanted to make more money. There were two ways they could do this. Number one, they could raise their prices either on snacks, or tickets, or BOTH. Number two, they could put ads SOMEWHERE. Sorta like how more and more websites are getting popup windows. Don't like those windows? Start writing checks to the people running the sites, beecause not everyone has the money to just hand out bandwidth. |
