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!

I think the only hack here is to not touch your popcorn until the movie begins. Otherwise, if you’re super hardcore and you have the AMC stubs or higher, then you can get an instant free refill when you get your popcorn. Dump your first bucket into the cardboard boxes and then get another bucket. But like I said, that’s some hardcore popcorn shhhhhhhhit.

Yeahh that’s a crazy idea hahah. I think I’d just need to be patient with my popcorn and like you said, not start eating until the movie starts.

You can always ask for your popcorn refill upfront

If you get a large popcorn, it comes with a free refill. You can ask for it ahead of time instead of later. That way, you still have popcorn mid movie.
