The coffee is reasonably priced, it's the specialty drinks that are ridiculous.

I used to work at a movie theater, so from what i know from training, they make about 20% of their profit from the movies and 80% from the popcorn sales...

Pretty much, movie is just to attract a buncha ppl to buy the popcorns... yeah, the mark up on the popcorn must be at least 500%
