Continuing water issues

We went to the mall last night, hoping to see Harry Potter.

They had shut down the food court (which made sense), but also the movie theater (huh?). Chuckro's theory is that they decided that without concessions, they couldn't make enough money to bother staying open.

Sigh. I guess Harry Potter will have to wait for next weekend.

I agree with Chuckro. What's the profit margin on a $5 Coke--90%? It's almost at the point where the actual movie ticket is a loss leader.

I think it's actually already there. The question is more if they lose goodwill.

Explain to me how $10/seat is a loss leader? Is rent *that* expensive?
