Today, I went to see Terminator. Not wanting to spend an outrageous amount of money at the concession stand, I sneaked a Dr. Pepper into the theater. I thought I had gotten away with it, until I opened the bottle and it exploded all over me and four other people that I didn't know. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to see a movie. After getting my seat, I went out to get food. Coming back, I saw the security guard. Thinking he would ask me for my ticket, I moved all the food to one hand to get the ticket in my pocket. I spilled it all. He didn't ask to see it. FML
Today, I tried to sneak a burrito into a movie theater by hiding it in my jacket. Halfway through the trailers, the foil popped loudly, and the burrito slid out and rolled down the sloped aisle like a tiny log. The theater lights were still on, people turned to watch, so I pretended it wasn’t mine. FML
Today, I was at a concert and the guy who was selling the drinks tripped and fell down the stairs, landing on the floor next to me and the drinks went all over. I went to make sure he was okay and helped pick up the drinks. After assuring me he was okay, he gave me a free soda. It exploded. FML
Today, I went to the movies with some friends. During the movie, I really needed to pee but didn’t want to disturb anyone. So, I waited and waited. Finally, I couldn’t hold it anymore and bolted to the bathroom… only to get locked out of the theater in the process. The staff had to escort me back in during the end credits. FML
Today, I was at a movie theater. I heard some obnoxious people talking in front of me. After about 5 minutes, I began throwing popcorn at a group of suspected people. As I was escorted out, I realized that the obnoxious people were in the background of the movie. FML
Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML
Today, at the movies on a date, I drank all my soda and waited too long. I couldn't take it anymore and quickly got up, knocking my date's popcorn on the floor, and ran to the bathroom. I didn’t make it and went home in shame. It’s better he thinks I stood him up. FML
Today, I saw Avatar in iMax 3D. Towards the end of the movie I jump, yelled, and spilled my drink all over the people in front of me because I thought a burning piece of ash landed on my leg. FML
Today, while walking down the aisle of a movie theatre, I passed gas so loudly that the audience missed the climax of the film laughing at me. FML
Today, I was craving a cold Coke, so I grabbed one from the freezer where I had put it to chill quickly. As soon as I opened it, the can exploded all over me and the kitchen. I spent the next hour cleaning sticky residue off the floor, surrounding furniture, and even the ceiling. FML

It's considered illegal if it's their rules to not allow it. It's just like any other crime. Stealing from a grocery store causes them to lose money. You bringing in outside food and or beverages causes the movies to lose money. And the reason for the high movie prices... (I used to work there) the theatre only gets 10 percent of the money made off of movies. And they only get that 10 percent if the movie sells a certain amount set by the hollywood buffs.

#84 is right, but the percentages are a little off. I manage a movie theater and on big movies we quite often pay 70% of each ticket pack to the production company. So assuming a theater makes $10,000 one week (just using an easy #) on a movie, they have to send out $7000 and keep $3000 for themselves. Factor in all the costs involved for the theater (staff, utilities, taxes, their cost on the product they sell and the fact that a projector takes about $15 worth of electricity each time it plays a movie) and they're in the negative. We even pay for licenses just because there is music in the movies. Granted more screens means more money, but again, they're paying percentages on each movie, need more staff, so on and so forth. As much as I can sympathize with not wanting to pay $5 for what is essentially $0.50 worth of pop, it's a necessary evil for them to keep their doors open. That is literally where all the money is made. Theaters are basically concession businesses that use movies to lure people in. So I really don't feel bad taking stuff away from people. I have made people throw out un-opened cups of coffee, bottles of water, slurpees....you name it. The other night, I made some 18 year old kids watch as I dumped the 6 beer they tried to sneak in down the sink.

We have a drive-in theatre here. Three screens, each shows two, newly released movies each night. The price of an adult admission is less than the daytime ticket of the adult admission for the regular theatre. Their candy bars are $.50, you can get two hamburgers for $1 (obviously part soy but still burgers), a large pizza for $6. Their concession line is always closed packed and they have to chase people away when they close it before the movies end. If the regular theatres charged decent prices, they'd make a much larger profit because more people would buy things, and they would buy more. That's the foundation of wal-mart, Sam's club, and Aldi's. It wasn't that long ago that Sam Walton was the richest man in America, as the result of his Walmart chain, and that was before walmart had spread across the USA
