Good day friends, it is really nice to watch movies in a big screen in our favorite movie house. But before going in, would you prefer to buy something to eat first or have it at the middle of the show or let's say after viewing the whole program?

Let's share what's your share about this...Have a nice day ahead... happy

Off course, its the snacks first. mostly its popcorn with cheese flavor (the biggest size) enough for 4 to 5 persons. And usually coke will have to do for the drinks. After the movie, our spot will surely becomes a mess.lol

We ALWAYS get out snacks and drinks before the movie (why leave in the middle of it and miss something??). If we are worried the movie is going to be crowded a couple of us will go get seats, and someone will stay behind to get the snacks.

Hi Mobhomeir,

Frankly speaking, I seldom buy a snack to the cinema. Only once a while, I will get a popcorn and coke as my appetizer.

I used to be a movie maniac when I was single. Most of the time when I was out for dating, cinema is the place that we were visited.I watched any kind of movies.

Having a snack in the cinema is not really compulsory. I prefer to concentrate on the story when I was in cinema.

Noawadays, I never been to cinema after I have given birth to my son. Since I am taking of him full-time,I just can' t find any free time to visit a cinema again and slowly, I am not addicted to cinema anymore.

We try to get there before it starts to get good seats, and I save the seats while my husband gets snacks, we usually get popcorn, and sodas. We would get nachos if the theater had good ones, but it doesn't.

When I go to the movies I usually will bring my own candy in my pocketbook to munch on during the movie. The movies are expensive as it is then they want you to spend another 10.00 for popcorn and a drink. It's ridiulous. If I don't bring anything to the movie then I wait till after the movie to go out and eat. When they bring down the prices maybe I would consider buying something at the theater. I don't think though that will ever happen. Everything goes up in price and nothing comes down.


myLot reputation of 97/100. mobhomeir (1538)   ranked 517 out of 11,431 in watching movies  3 months ago

yeah...budget wise I appreciate that..a good idea because everything you want to buy at theater canteen or store are so expensive and you have a good idea....thanks for responding...

We always buy snacks at the theater, because if we buy them before, the theater managers somehow always discover them, and will conficate them. Around here one is not allowed to bring in outside snacks. They have to pay for the overpriced ones they sell there, if they want to eat at a movie.


myLot reputation of 97/100. mobhomeir (1538)   ranked 517 out of 11,431 in watching movies  3 months ago

Oh I never know eating inside the theater (in your place) are not allowed. I think you just secretly bought something right...? Thanks for responding...

I like having snacks while watching movies, we always bring in food whether it's hotdog sandwich, popcorn or chips. We don't buy snack in the middle of the movie and we only buy food after the movies only if we still feel hungry after watching.


myLot reputation of 97/100. mobhomeir (1538)   ranked 517 out of 11,431 in watching movies  3 months ago

Oh I see...some would buy something after the movie. Like you that's the way we used to do whenever we watch movies...thanks for responding

For me, I still prefer to have some snacks in the cinema. But the cinema here is strictly no outside food. So what we have in the cinema snacks counter is very limited.. Only pop corn and some chips, not much choice.

Once in a while I will get my own snacks from supermarkets and get to hide them in my handbag before entering the cinema.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (2501)   ranked 1,501 out of 11,431 in watching movies  3 months ago

yes vingyan, i also like having foods inside the cinema...it completes my enjoyment in watching the movie...
what's just good here in our place is that they allow foods inside the cinema... happy
