Well, you are assuming that you are paying for access to the movie. But my theory is that you are paying for access to the price-gouging snack bar, and the movie is just a lure. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that theatre owners generally just break even on the tickets, and make their real money selling poofed air and sweetened water...
That's a bit of an overstatement, of course, but consider: if you go to a multiplex, what stops you from staying all day, once you are inside, and watching several movies? And how hungry will you get while you are there?
