COMPLAIN directly to Movie theaters to offer lower prices for families
• Movie Concession prices have increased & aren’t budget friendly
• Why are movie theaters making an estimated 85% profit on snacks
alone?
• What are the options, if any for moviegoers on a budget?
3 Main Points:
I’ve already paid $7-9 for admission, why do I have to pay DOUBLE for
snacks? http://www.flickr.com/photos/skippy/4016102/sizes/m/in/photostream/

Joshua Thompson from Livonia, Michigan filed a class
action suit against AMC Theater for charging him $8.00 for a drink & candy.
In the past, Thompson brought his own snacks, until the cinema banned outside
food in the theater. http://www.flickr.com/photos/97715891@N00/4040368738/
Purchase a Movie Pass to save on
Admission.

Attend a discounted movie theater like Varsity Cinemas so you’ll spend less on
admission and not so much overall. http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/4937784264/

Wait until the movie is released on DVD to avoid the movie
theater experience altogether…
Subscribe to Netflix after you’ve complained to your local IMAX or AMC
theater about their high concession prices and compare your experiences…

Summary
Moviegoers should be allowed to bring their own snacks.
Movie theaters like IMAX & AMC charge 9x’s the retail price for snacks.
There are several options for moviegoers on a budget.
Moviegoers can avoid being forced to make life decisions at the concession stand by being
permitted to bring their own snacks from home while viewing their
‘paid’ movie…
