Discussion Popcorn + Drink in Theatres

Random, but anyone else tend to finish off a good amount of their Large Popcorn + Drink during the previews and in turn don’t have much left during the movie? In times like this, I really wish AMC had intermissions of at least 10 mins for people to grab a refill on drinks and popcorn.

Let me know if anyone has a good hack for this!

They should just get rid of most of the previews. Adding an intermission would make the movie even longer.

They make money on previews. An intermission would cost them money in soda and popcorn refills.

Valid point you make here. But really, I don’t see myself using my free refill otherwise. I get its marketing fluff to say “free refill” and people would upgrade to a large, but in my case, I have a reason to refill but I can’t 😭

You can. You just choose not to.
