  • Description: In the five to six months after cinemas reopened, says Larry Etter, senior vice president at Maico Theatres, concessions per caps skyrocketed-lines were shorter, and "only the most honest and loyal patrons returned" to the cinema. Shortly after Malco's cinemas began opening in August 2022, per caps nearly doubled from what they were pre-pandemic: this despite prices that had been slashed by 30 percent and a menu that had been reduced to five key categories (one size of beverage, popcorn, candy, hot dogs, and nachos). Why are concessions per caps increasing?" To find answers, Etter began gathering data and empirical observations, his conclusions coming together in a study for the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management at the University of Memphis, created in collaboration with LeRoy Conway III and Mehri Ahmadzadegan.
