Movie theaters have an 85% profit margin on concessions, but the total average profit margin for a theater is just 4.3% That shows that high concession profits are essential for a theater’s survival.

The part-time theater employee likely does not lose sleep if you smuggle in M&Ms that you bought at CVS instead of the concession stand. But when you start leaving garbage everywhere, you’re being rude. If you bring outside food in foam containers, plastic cups, or tin foil, you best throw that away yourself. No one wants to find an old macaroni-salad container under a seat. You have to pass the garbage can to get out of the theater anyway—take your junk with you.
