@GaryPoole your dentist’s boat payment is counting on it.
@GaryPoole On average, the profit margin for fresh movie theater popcorn can be upward to 80 percent. This is massive, especially considering the markup (see: how to calculate markup). It's not uncommon to sell popcorn at a markup of a whopping 1,275 percent.
@dauphin87 that's because just about the only revenue movie theaters make is from concessions, not ticket sales. And movie theater popcorn just tastes better, like hot dogs taste better at a baseball game.
@GaryPoole I worked part-time at a movie theater in 2012 after I sold my business. I had and still do have an online job, but I was bored only working 20 hours a week. working at Regal Theater was quite an experience.
I had crazy second jobs like that too. The best/memorable experiences.
No regrets
@GaryPoole @dauphin87 And it looks like, when projectors switched to the much-cheaper LED kind, instead of theaters being able to keep expenses low, the studios and distributors just jacked up the cost of leasing the movies even higher.
Popcorn all the way. 🍿
