I’ll bring food with me when I go to a theater that is run by a big business, but there is an independent theater near my house that a few of my friends work at and I always buy my food there because it’s all that keeps them running.

At times when finances have been tough I’ve snuck in small baggies of popcorn. You can also get the big boxes of ‘movie’ candy for $1 at Walgreen’s. It’s just not always affordable for families to buy movie tickets and refreshments.

I don\’t think movie theaters care if you bring your own food.

RESPONSE: They do here in NC :)

My friends and I smuggle candy into the theatre all of the time. It’s too expensive NOT to.

I bring Junior Mints and bottled water. I once saw a woman open a giant purse in the theatre–she had an entire bag of microwave popcorn and a 20oz Coke. I’ve seen a couple people bring in bags from McDonald’s, but most of my friends just bring their own candy. Interestingly, I saw the McDonald’s bags pass right by the ticket takers, and no one said anything. So, maybe all this sneaking is pointless? Are there any theatre workers out there who’d like to comment?
