And they are wrong. If you buy a ticket, the movie studio and thater don’t care if you don’t then go and see the movie. Whoever wrote this is a moron.

Actually, the movie studio might not care but the theater certainly will. They make huge margin off the concessions. Empty theater = no popcorn = no margins = theaters go broke.

I hope they boycott every movie going.

The theater cares. They make all their money on concessions and almost none on the movie itself. Empty seats is bad for the theater. But you're right the studio could care less as long as the tickets are sold.

Actually, the theatre does care. They don't get that much of the box office from even packed houses. It's the popcorn concession that provides the gravy.
