Sorry to say – but it’s against Cineplex’s policy to bring in outside food. They’ve partnered with Uber Eats, letting you buy their popcorn and get it delivered straight to your front door. Recently, they’ve become one of the first cinema chains in the world to offer delivery of their popcorn and other snacks. Until the time comes that movie-goers finally take a stand and stop buying their popcorn because of its high price, sorry to say, but the prices aren’t going to change. Why should Cineplex lower the cost if they don’t need to?
It’s not only Cineplex that operates on this model – just have a look at the AMC popcorn prices in America, also quite highly-priced for a standard movie snack.Īnother reason that all the Cineplex concession prices you see above don’t go down, is because people continue to buy it at its current price. In turn, cinema chains were forced to seek out profits in other areas of their business, and they’ve chosen popcorn and snacks to make up for it. Traditionally, movie theaters have always made very little money on the sale of movie tickets themselves (producers and distribution companies take a massive share). One of the main reasons the Cineplex popcorn prices are so high is because that’s where most of their profit comes from.
