I was around for The Passion of the Christ. That was a popcorn movie.

There have been no other "Popcorn Movies" since.

I have read all the reviews on here, and all the predictions.

The reviews have been bad, but MY popcorn sales have been through the ROOF!!!!

GO IJ4!!!

Really? Was that a joke? Our per caps were awful here for Passion. Something about the subject matter took away people's appetite...

I must agree....popcorn sales sucked when we played Passion.

Same here. "Passion" was anything but a popcorn movie.

i sold more senior tickets then any other movie I had at my two screen when we played passion. and I agree with everyone, the per cap was terrible.

I think we passed out more Kleenex than we sold popcorn.

The Passion (biggest movie ever at my theatre) was also the biggest ever for BOTTLED WATER.
