Cineplex upcoming June 1st Changes
So i was at the theatre yesterday with my wife and kids and noticed that first of all they had raised the prices of most of the combos at the concession, 2 reg popcorn 2 reg drinks with 1 candy was like $25.99, which i usually end up upsizing because of the free refills. I was then warned by the cashier that as of June 1st cineplex is no longer offering refills on any concessions.
I think this is a horrible idea, and i will absolutely stay away from cineplex because of this. They can kick and scream all they want about the movie business being hurt because of pirating etc.. yet new records seem to be made every other month when it comes to sales, and the prices for their concessions is absolutely absurd. It's popcorn and fountain pop, that's it, and if they can't offer a refill on something you paid a VERY high price for to begin with i will no longer go there.
Now i know this won't affect most people, singles or couples that go to the movies, but when you are taking a family to see a movie that will cost roughly $75 in admission and food, then a refill on some drinks and popcorn is a huge issue.
Not sure if you guys knew about this change or cared, but it certainly changed my thoughts about going to movies with my family after june 1st.
Can anyone confirm if this is nationwide and not just the niagara region, also, does anyone know if Empire offers refills with their concessions?
