Some theaters by me don't even sell small popcorns anymore. Your choice is a gallon bucket for $7-$9, or a limited edition Marcel gallon bucket for $14.

    I could be low balling it. In general, the cost of popcorn has gone up, even at grocery stores. Most brands seem to be only selling a 3 or 6 pack now. The cost per bag is over a dollar for the 3 packs, so yeah, you are likely right that my numbers are way off.
