    Anything except lowering prices, huh? Even just concession stands, we all know how cheap it actually costs to make popcorn and soda!

      I’m okay with the prices. They’re high, but compared to how high other things have gotten, I don’t think it’s so bad. I just need something good in a theater to watch!

      I enjoy the theater experience, but I haven’t gone in several months now because there is nothing to see. At least nothing that sparks my personal interest.

      At one point in my life, I was going to the theater at least 2 times a month. I got the AMC pass because it made it cheaper. It was great! This was already at the time where I could buy a beer in the theater which was even better. There was just a plethora or good content.

      Now all the content that I want to see is on a streaming service.

      Popcorn is the only way they make money. Ticket revenue goes towards the film studios.

      What do you suggest they do instead? Selling merch?
