Sneaking Food/ Drinks Into the Movie Theatre...

Sometimes me and my husband will sneak food into theater but nothing that they don't have already there so if they do see us with it they can't say nothing. We just hide our drinks out of sight. You can be kicked out here as well for bring in your own food. But most of the time when me and my husband do go it's with out our kids since they are both still very little can't sit through a movie we use it as a date night time. Normally we go before dinner to the movie at an early time just get a drink another else and then go out to dinner after wards. Other times if it's after my husband gets out of work then we will go dinner eat and hit the late movie or not eat out at all that night and eat dinner with family and then go to a movie. It can be pricey going some times so we just plan out when we want to go see a movie.

We eat beforehand but we do bring in some snacks and drinks ourselves like nuts and chocolate. But they don't check bags or really catch us. I don't think they like it though obviously because they can't sell their overpriced crap

Food at the theater is SOOOO expensive.. I mean you could buy a steak dinner for the price of pop corn and a drink and a little bag of candy to eat in your lap! I would say I don't know why they do that, but of course...captive audience equals big profit. I have never heard any reports of how much money a theater earns on food...but I am willing to be (and I am not a betting person!) that it is huge!$5 for a thing of pop corn and it probably only costs $5 for all the kernals used that night to pop! I don't go to movies anymore..but when I used to , yeah, I'd sneak something in simply cause I could either afford the ticket or the food... I could never afford both. If they'd drop the price of the food, they wouldn't have to worry about people bringing their own, but since they dont' have to do that...just kick out anyone that brings food in..they make a cool little chunk of change. And it doesn't seem to be an issue..people still go and still buy the food!

Wow, I've never heard of a theater doing this. Sometimes I'll bring my own candy into the theater or I'll bring a bottle of soda or something. Between snacks and the cost of movie tickets, it's not cheap to go to the movies. When my boyfriend and I go to the movies what we'll do is split the costs up. One of us will buy the tickets and the other will buy a drink to share and a popcorn. Doing it that way helps a little when we want to get food at the theater, i wouldn't expect him to pay for it all so I feel it's only fair I help out a bit as well. I'm just shocked that they'll kick you out of a theater if you bring in your own stuff. I do this all the time and i just hide it in a big purse lol

In our country we don't need to sneak drinks and food in the theater for it is legally allowed. Part of the culture to bring something to eat while watching movie.The most common is the popcorn with drinks like cola.

Well that happen in Indonesia too. My young sister ever been caught bringing some drinks to the theatre - but she just was asked to put the drinks on the security guard's table (she could take it back after watching the movie). Buying the food within the movie theatre is quite dear - I could spend more money in buying the foods and beverages than buying the tickets . But - I have ever sneaked food and drinks into the movie theatre three times - and I never been caught at all
