I'm much fatter than I would like to be.
Generally, thank God!, I am somehow able to resist the temptation of $13
popcorn and $8 hot dogs. I don't know if I could do the same with $2
concessions. I might be fatter than I am if that changes. Meanwhile everybody
buying those inflated snacks is underwriting the cost of my movie ticket... I
kind of like that.

Yes, that's my point, Steve. They should make something on the ticket price
and lower the cost of those concessions.
I've heard exhibitors complain about it for years. The studios are greedy on
this point. Of course, they have their
"reasons" but the business model for movies is out of whack in my view.

Theaters make next to nothing on the admission tickets. The cost of food
and drinks keep them going. If families/individuals cannot afford the
concessions they should stay away from them. How about the cost of the video
games? When I go to the theaters I see those rooms filled to capacity with
mostly school age students spending lots of money for a minute or two worth of
play. Big bucket of popcorn and largest sodas usually include free refills.
Certain nights there is unlimited popcorn for one price.

Who can defend $13.00 popcorn-packs? But, honestly, someone should sue the
producers for
unjust sharing of film revenues with the exhibitors. It's been this way
for years. A few percentage points
in the exhibitors favor and they could well afford to make popcorn $2.00 a
box. Or some such price.
