Ticket prices are determined by the rental fees studios and distributors charge theaters and there is almost no profit margin in them. Theater owners make up that margin by charging $4 for a box of Hot Tamales and $3 for a small Coke. Considering that most theaters are owned by large multinationals, I have little sympathy for that plight. I do, however, always hit the concession stand at indie theaters like Clinton St., Laurelhurst, and Cinemagic.

It costs 10 bucks to see a new release at night, 8 for a matinee. If the popcorn (which I never buy) cost less, they would "have" to charge, what, 15? Whatever. And this is Stanford- and UCSC-caliber "research"? Double whatever. That’s just crazy talk. It costs 10 bucks to see a new release at night, 8 for a matinee.
