Why do movie theaters charge so much?

answers1: It isn't the admission fee that shocks me so much, it's the
cost of popcorn and drinks. They're more than double admission and I
think this is a disgrace--especially since the popcorn is usually cold
and the soda watered down. I refuse to buy refreshments any more.
Maybe some day the theaters will get the message if enough of us do
this.
answers2: Have you tried Blockbuster or Hollywood Video? It costs
about $5 for everybody to watch one movie. Pop your own popcorn for
about a buck.
answers3: There is a huge cost to maintain a theater and keep up with
technology. The movie distribution companies charge large amounts to
the theaters to show their movies. <br>

Most theaters don't make money except on the snack bar. <br>

As long as people go, they will charge.
