Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
They can’t stop you from eating or drinking what you want, but they can’t be forced to allow you to bring it into their business.
However, if their business isn’t sustainable without egregiously-priced food, perhaps it should be allowed to fail. And if they all start to fail, perhaps the studios would start to lose money, and maybe they would eventually understand that it’s due to their own greed. But we all know the blame would get passed on to the consumer.
