They kinda asked and answered their own question there. As anyone who's played Rollercoaster Tycoon will know, once you've got captive consumers, there's nothing else to do but shake them down. Welcome to the land of $5 bottled water with scarce and inconveniently-located water dispensers. It's 2026 and it's easier to buy a bottle of water for orders of magnitude greater than its base cost than it is to refill a water bottle.

    Yeah but cinema is like £20 per ticket £15 for a medium popcorn and £10 for a coke.

    Agreed. Imagine what you could charge in an airport.

    You go to the wrong movie theaters. I just bought a subscription to a local movie theater's film club. Twice a month they play movies that have appeared at national film festivals.

    CAD$90 (£48) for 12 films.

    Popcorn and other snacks are still exorbitant, of course
