Default Food Prices at Cinemas

Im a big movie lover and love watching movies when they are first released, but like always whats a movie without some popcorn and drinks, but the astonishing price of food at cinema outlets is way out of what it should actually be.

I understand that margins should be met and all, and prices are generally exceeded, bu so much that it actually rips of people is actually bad. I mean popcorn cost something like Rs150 - Rs200 when the actual price should be around Rs50 - Rs70.

I suppose its not a major issue, but when something which does really cost that much and you are overcharged for it, then its a point to be made and taken note of....although I would still go and buy the popcorn and drinks, but its something which I dont think I would do for every movie!

Does anyone else think on the same lines as me???

why don't You take popcorn with you, so that you don't need to buy popcorn from there.
By the by i am now planning of making popcorn store in cinemas at a reasonable price.

As per my knowledge the authorities from the multiplex are not allowed the food from outdoor.

Many cinema forbid the customers to bring food from outside. You need to hide it very careful or you had better not eat it anymore It's kind of difficult since eating while watching films is my favorite hobby. I guess bringing a boyfriend with you and make him pay the popcorn is the last and the best solution

However the price of popcorn in the cinema is very expensive, it is also sold quickly. Because It is nearly a theatre cultrure. When we go to the cinema, we ofen spend without hesitating.
