Selling drinks and snacks is one of the main sources of income for movie theaters. The movie distribution is organized in such a way that, in fact, the theater keeps 30-40% of the profit from the cost of one ticket. In addition, movie theater attendance is inexorably declining. Therefore, in order to make money, it is important to sell related products.
Popcorn is the most profitable for sale, and its cost can be “marked up” more than 10 times. Therefore, in almost all movie theaters, there is a very small difference in price between buckets of popcorn. So, for a small surcharge, you will get much more grains, although a smaller portion would be enough.

After the premiere, critics tore the film to shreds, calling The Bodyguard the most talentless project in the history of cinema. Both Houston and Costner were nominated for the Golden Raspberry, which the singer eventually received as Worst Actress. But, as often happens, viewers ignored the critics' opinions, and the film became a number one hit and recouped its costs three times over at the box office. With a modest budget of $25 million, the film grossed more than $120 million in the US and more than $400 million worldwide. The success of the film surprised even screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, who admitted: “There is some mysticism in this. I understand that Kevin is very popular, the music sets the mood, but all this is in many films. And this is not the main thing that led to such amazing success. There is something in the film that attracts people, especially women. I can’t tell you why.” 0 reply
