“many struggling cinemas depend on the sales of pricy food and drink”
Fuck you, what they charge isnt “pricy”
its fuckin exploitative. Its why they ban you bringing in snacks, in the hopes you’ll pay 20 dollars for 5 cents of popcorn aind 7 cents of soda.
also, You expect anyone to have sympathy for the theater after
“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’
Exploitive? C’mon mate, nobody is forcing you to watch new movies at the theater, or to eat hotdogs, candy, and popcorn while you’re there. The whole concept is outdated uncomfortable bullshit, and you have every right to abstain. At a minimum, go eat a meal before the movie and just fucking vibe without dumping wads of fat-soaked corn and carbonated sugar water into your gaping maw.
I don’t even bother with the big theaters anymore. I get my cinema fix from boutique neighborhood cinemas that play classics and offer dinner and a movie, and I pirate everything else for home viewing.
Corporate cinema sucks ass. You deserve to get price gouged if you haven’t figured that out yet.
A poor business model on their part does not constitute a moral obligation on mine. Places like this are more than welcome to figure out ways to stay in business without being unreasonably fucking exploitative.
Wait’ll you find out I also sometimes go in ten or fifteen minutes after the posted showtime so I don’t have to watch the ads they got paid to show me before the movie starts.

And yet the entire Cinema industry is crying like babies cause “no one is going to the theater anymore”.
They can all go fuck themselves.
At that point, with comments like that, you’d be tempted to give the guy a real reason to call the police…
Because you start publicly urinating in the lobby?
It’s literally how they pay for the seats you’re sitting in. The money you pay for the ticket goes to the studio, not the theatre.

Why the fuck do you people think there is an obligation? A) don’t go or b) don’t eat. If you go to a business, you play by their rules.
Buncha fucking children that want everything their way, or they bitch and complain on the internet. Just don’t go and stfu about it?

What is your point?
