Cinemas around the country are reportedly fearing an imminent shortage of popcorn and other concession stand staples, including popcorn bags and beverage cups, as the supply chain failures of the Biden administration threaten to upend what theaters were hoping would be a mass return to moviegoing this summer.
Movie theater operators expressed nervousness at the recent CinemaCon industry gathering about their ability to stock concession stands for the summer and Christmas seasons, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. “Popcorn supply will be tight,” Norm Krug, chief executive of Preferred Popcorn, a supplier of kernels to theater chains, told the newspaper.
“It’s a mess,” a theater owner said.

Although the Top Gun remake is doing well, I believe that this is an anomaly. A sizeable portion of the public is sick of the Hollywood woke agenda. Cinema attendance thus will not recover to pre-Wuhan Flu levels. The fear of a popcorn shortage is thus exaggerated.

On the upside, there's plenty of corn available to make ethanol, with which Americans by law (thanks, Green George) must use to ruin their engines and pollute the atmosphere, all while enjoying cars that run hotter and get worse fuel economy and performance.

There is a much more severe shortage of decent movies in the first place....so who cares about whether popcorn is available.

Theater popcorn hasn't been any good since they stopped popping it fresh. Warm styrofoam peanuts would taste better than what they serve now.

Theater prices have been abnormally inflated for years. If they think they are going to prosper on $20 tickets, $15 popcorn and a $10 coke to watch a woke, weak and sexually perverted stream of movies, they might as well board up the windows now.

Stopped going to theaters 15-20 years ago. The movies were crap, they began cranking the volume up to 50,000 decibels, small popcorn and a coke spud in north of $10.......who needs it. 40 years ago it was a rare weekend you couldn’t find a decent movie to go see.....no more. Think I’ll stay home and watch another classic on TCM and pop my own corn.

Election's coming up. I've "stockpiled" plenty at home. It's easy to cook.

They finally have a movie that makes money and they think we are going to swarm back in droves. Nope. It will eventually be on TV. I can wait.

The popcorn shortage is because all of us MAGA supporters have bought up all the popcorn in preparation for the Election Night results for the November midterms.
I expect there will be another popcorn shortage in January 2023 in preparation for the Impeachment of the Fake President Biden

All the Ultra-MAGA people purchased it all and are hoarding it for election night. Maybe a commercial with an interracial family will be made to explain it.

You will soon be able to buy the one good movie on CD for the price of 1 ticket, 1 popcorn and 1 drink , and the whole family can enjoy it together.

I won't contribute to any popcorn shortage at a movie theater. I don't go to the movies.

We'll be going to the latest Top Gun movie. Probably the only movie we'll see this year.
A family member wore the shirt I got him when he went to the movie. On the front is the "Top Gun" logo from the movie across the chest.
On the back it says "Goose would be alive, if I had been flying". When I saw it, I had to get it for this former F-14 fighter pilot, because it's true.
He's been a test pilot for many years now, and yes, I believe that "Goose" would be alive because the situation in the movie was avoidable by not putting the aircraft into excessive yaw ("ball not centered") which the Congressionally mandated, marginal, substitute engines in the early F-14s could not abide, and they'd compressor stall at high angle of attack and excessive yaw from a sloppy pilot in air combat maneuvering.
The early F-14s were tricky to fly at the extreme edges of the performance envelope. This compressor stall could get the aircraft into a unrecoverable flat spin. Would never have happened to a really skilled F-14 pilot. Later models had the proper engines when Congressional funding was restored decades later, and were far more forgiving to fly in a dogfight.

I installed a ceiling mounted projector and 100" drop down screen and stereo system a couple years ago because I knew I never wanted to go to a theater again. I have saved the movies I care about for years and am very selective of what I add now because Hollywood hasn't put out a decent movie in years. They may come out with maybe one a year now, but most are garbage. I also have plenty of popcorn and will be using it if any of the swamp actually get convicted of the crimes they've done.
