Popcorn can be relatively expensive in cinema centers for several reasons:

1. High demand: Popcorn is a popular snack choice for moviegoers, and its demand is often high in cinema centers. As with any product, when there is a high demand, the price tends to be higher.

2. Concession revenue: Cinema centers often rely on concession sales, including popcorn, to generate a significant portion of their revenue. Since ticket sales are sometimes split with movie distributors, cinema centers may price concessions, such as popcorn, at a higher margin to make up for the lower profit margins on ticket sales.

3. Operational costs: Producing and selling popcorn in a cinema center involves various operational costs. These costs include purchasing the raw materials (popcorn kernels, oil, salt, flavorings), equipment maintenance, staff wages, packaging, and marketing. These expenses contribute to the overall pricing of popcorn in the cinema.

4. Exclusive availability: Cinema centers often create a sense of exclusivity by offering popcorn that is specifically made for their establishments. This exclusive branding and packaging may justify a higher price point.

5. Value perception: Popcorn has become synonymous with the movie-watching experience, and people are often willing to pay more for the convenience and association of enjoying popcorn while watching a film in a theater setting. Cinemas capitalize on this perceived value and charge accordingly.
