>In japan sushi and rice balls are cheap quick and easy to get in convenience stores.
Wrong. Sushi price in japan is more or less the same as the west.
Theatres that have sushi don't have it made at the theatre. It's usually available because the theatre is in a mall or near lots of restaurants, meaning you can get any food delivered to your seat from any of those other places.

which you can't use in the device itself, but need to pour it after, which makes popcorns unevenly greasy. not to mention the mess of melting and stirring the butter. really beats premade microwave bags.

in mine you're supposed to put the oil in with the kernals, not after, and it doesn't end up dry

My ex's dad had one you could put the butter in while it popped
For me? It's a thick steel pot, coconut oil, Flavacol, and Orville Redenbacher popcorn kernels. A little bit of Flavacol in the oil and then a bit more in the bowl when it's all done. Best popcorn there is
Yup. I worked at a movie theater and that's how it goes, most of the money goes back to Hollywood
That being said you have to be a real cuck to not sneak your own shit in, nobody ever checked
Theaters generally get 10% of the box office returns opening week, and the figure increases in their favor the longer it is showing. The conventional wisdom of needing to double budget is a combination of many factors. >Marketing expenses >Studios get much lower share of international box office >Opportunity costs, just because a movie isn't an outright bomb doesn't mean the money spent couldn't have been used more effectively elsewhere
Also important to note that doubling budget is outdated. These days if a big tentpole blockbuster doesn't make over a billion the studio is going to be disappointed
I went to see Maverick with my dad for father's day and it was FORTY TWO FRICKING DOLLARS for two popcorns and two drinks
FORTY
TWO
DOLLARS
This is Canada and we need foreign aid immediately
I'm so glad you make up lies about Canada,
I hope you die in a fire in hell on a cold night.
You are a part of the system, and you do not care about prices. c**t.
>You can get an 86" TV for home and within 2 years a 100" TV will be the norm.
Wrong, manufacturers are just now moving to 60" as the norm due to glass sheet size generation.
It will be several years if ever before sizes around 80-100" will be cheap
Screens that huge will never be the norm, people just don't have the living rooms for them. They will always be the domain of dedicated home theater rooms, sell niche numbers, and this command a higher price to make up for the low sales volume.
good point, there's a space constraint issue too.
I would guess anything above 70ish inches is too big for most living rooms.
>It will be several years if ever before sizes around 80-100" will be cheap >cheap
Imagine being a poorgay.
You or the other poster talked about them being the "norm". If you're just talking about what is doable then projectors have existed for decades making the entire argument moot
If you can't afford $1000 for a TV you need to stop buying funko pops, turn off your simp accounts and get a job that doesn't involve steaming cups of milk.
Any average Joe can afford a 75" TV these days thanks to huge demand and multiple manufacturers.
The massive amount of rent they pay for thier locations and extreme raising of wages for low tier work is why. I dont even mind paying $9-15 for a pint of beer because some bars you still do anyway and have to tip. Movie theater doesnt make money off it so they barely hike the price like with the concessions
I think its disgusting and smells like piss, and people eat it with their mouths open so its annoying.
They should sell sushi instead.
I think you should be eatin by your gut parasites for eating raw fish, you fricking weeb homosexual b***h.
Dangerously based
>here's some raw fish and shitty bland rice
>that'll be $1000 polus tip
In japan sushi and rice balls are cheap quick and easy to get in convenience stores.
Americans eat sugary salty gross disgusting expensive snacks.
>In japan sushi and rice balls are cheap quick and easy to get in convenience stores.
Wrong. Sushi price in japan is more or less the same as the west.

People would die from movie theater sushi

>raw fish
>minimum wage slaves
what could possibly go wrong, moron?
you think you could trust the fat disgusting morons who are the majority of our countrymen with sushi?
>t. weeb
because society is collapsing
Popcorn is cheap still. Just buy popcorn kernals from a local grocery store. Stop paying for israeli popping fees.

I have one of these, it's very convenient.
Can make a bucket of popped corn in 5 minutes from preheating to last batch being done.
except it's dry

Far superior popcorn popping device coming through
honestly? If someone did this during the coming attractions and was finished before the movie started I wouldn't give a shit
For me? It's a thick steel pot, coconut oil, Flavacol, and Orville Redenbacher popcorn kernels. A little bit of Flavacol in the oil and then a bit more in the bowl when it's all done. Best popcorn there is
Careful with the flavacol its very powerful
>flavacol
I'm no health guru by any stretch of the imagination but this just sounds like something that shouldn't be consumed
Its just special salt that sticks to the popcorn very well, however its super file and concentrated so its easy to put too much and OD on sodium
Why not just spray real butter on popcorn. Call me crazy.
Do you use fresh butter, melt it, then pour it into a spray bottle or just get the artificial premade stuff
Thaey don't have any.
Because of Joe Biden.
>Glass pipes with no crack
He's right, you know.
because it is an essential element of the kino experience
Theaters make all of their money from concessions. I’m not even sure if they get any of the ticket sales. Without concessions they die
Maybe they should die
Yup. I worked at a movie theater and that's how it goes, most of the money goes back to Hollywood
That being said you have to be a real cuck to not sneak your own shit in, nobody ever checked
What happened to movies not breaking even unless they make double the budget? They keep telling us it's because the theaters take a cut.
Theaters generally get 10% of the box office returns opening week, and the figure increases in their favor the longer it is showing. The conventional wisdom of needing to double budget is a combination of many factors.
>Marketing expenses
>Studios get much lower share of international box office

I think that's just in clapistan. People take outside food into theaters here and nobody cares.

If only you knew how bad things really were
Thank you for using the right word. Were not are.
There's no need to go to the movies anymore. You can get an 86" TV for home and within 2 years a 100" TV will be the norm.

it's not, do you know what "norm" means, i bet even on this board only 1 out of 100 posters has that setup
Modular microLED TVs might already be a thing before that happens.

how do you guys function in society with such a low reading comprehension?
Black person what I've had a 65'' tv since 2008
You can get like a big ass case of kernels for cheap. Pop them at home.
Umm just get a projector sweety. A box the size of a Sega Dreamcast can output a 120" image.
Nachos and warm queso cheese is the best kino snack
Joe Biden, you stupid frick. Get a clue.

It is cheap. Dirt cheap. It’s marked up highly. Same reason a soda that costs a restaurant $0.15 costs you $3.
popcorn is gross
I would buy delicious kettle corn but never the overly salty and "buttery" stuff they always give you at room temp
I buy it from the store for like 90 cents for 100 grams.
