CMV: Movie Theaters should let people bring in outside food and drinks on the condition that they charge the people a small fee

I feel like Movie Threaters could be alot more successful if they allowed outside food and drink if they charge the person like 2 dollars for each item. Most theaters do not have food that I would actually want to eat during a movie and being able to bring in my own food for a cost would be great. Many people find movie theater food expensive and end up not buying anything. If movie theaters let people bring food in they would be making money on people who would not have bought food anyway. Plus, many people sneak in food anyway so its not like it would destroy the consessions stand's business. And while yes it could lead to people illegally selling food to others for a cheaper price, it would seldom happen and would not affect the sales in a huge way.

The fact is the movie theatre makes most of its money on the food.  The ticket price is primarily to pay for the movie rental from the distributor/studio.  They keep the concession profits for themselves.
