Why Is Regal’s Food So Expensive?

Wondering if you’re the only one thinking that the Regal popcorn prices are too high? You can stop wondering – because many people think they are.

Regal aren’t the only ones with high concession prices though. Check out the AMCs popcorn prices and Cinemark’s concessions prices – both up there as well.

There’s no denying the fact the popcorn, drinks, hot food, and desserts all come with a premium price tag at the Regal concessions stand. But why is this the case? Well, it all comes down to how movie theaters make their money.

Traditionally, movie theaters make a low proportion of their total profit from ticket sales. There are just too many additional costs behind the price of a movie ticket.

To make up for it, they’ve chosen to find ways to make money in other areas of their That means the price of their popcorn is likely going to stay where it is.

Don’t think it’s only American – cinemas around the world follow a similar practice. Hoyt’s popcorn prices in Australia, Odeon food prices in the UK, and the Cineplex popcorn prices in Canada all have quite high costs for their snacks.

In saying that, you’re more than welcome to say stuff that and bring in your own food. Heads up though – if you’re too obvious about it, they’ll ask you to leave.

Is There Anything More Popular Than Regal’s Popcorn?

One word – nope. Regal has spent more than a bit of time perfecting the way their popcorn is not only made, but how it’s served, what type of flavoring goes on top, and the exact feeling you’re going to have when you take your first bite of the crunchy deliciousness (it’s a good one).

On top of their traditional butter flavoured popcorn, Regal has also experimented a bit (and will continue to do so) with other flavours such as Caramel and Zebra.

Just because their popcorn’s a fan favorite, doesn’t mean there’s nothing else on the Regal concessions menu worth a mention.

If you’re tired of tubs of popcorn all the time, give their Nachos or Loaded Fries a go. Both are great little sides to snack on whilst enjoying the latest blockbuster on the big screen.

The delicious snacks and popcorn on the Regal Cinemas menu come with a cost in addition to their price, and that’s a high-calorie count. Regal’s small popcorn has 280 calories. Upgrade to a large and you’ll be consuming 840 calories along with your movie.

Is Regal’s Popcorn Vegan?

In saying that, concessions aren’t for everyone. Regal popcorn prices are quite high and even higher in calories. So they’re definitely not something you should be eating every day, but perfectly OK every now and then.

It’s a question only you can answer – if you want popcorn, go get it. If you’re sitting on the fence, the smell is going to convince you. And if you don’t want it – don’t get it šŸ™‚

About Regal Cinemas

Regal Cinemas has quite an interesting history. Knoxville, Tennesee, was the first location in the US to have a Regal Cinema. That was in 1989 when Mike Campbell was their CEO.

It grew rapidly over the following years thanks to its upmarket feel and an exclusive cafe that was attached to many of the theaters, which made them quite fancy compared to many of their competitors.

Over the next decade, they swallowed up smaller chains such as Cobb Theatres and RC Theatres. Unfortunately, they gobbled up too much. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001.

Thankfully! They made sure it wasn’t the end by merging with Edwards Theaters and United Artists.

Today, they have more than 570 theaters, have total revenue in the billions, and are a subsidiary of the Cineworld Group (one of Europe’s largest cinema groups).

In October 2018, Regal announced it will undergo a $1 billion rebrand across all of its cinemas. Aiming to bring the company into the 21st century with a sleek, minimal logo and conducting massive renovations across many of their locations.
