Would you bring your own coffee in to an internet cafe or coffee shop?
Showing movies on a big screen is not a good way to make money, so I agree that you shouldn't bring your own box of gummy bears in or bag of pop corn but if you want water and veggies then go for it because they don't offer those things but the junk candy is part of the experience that they are providing, just like you would not go to a tire shop that offers free mounting and balancing of tires with your own tires and as them to do it for free.
The movie theater is paying for the building, the heat, electricity and a royalty for each person that buys a ticket on top of the cost that they have just to run the projector and acquire the movie, most movies aren't even rolls of film any more they are hard drives and digital projectors, all of that has a cost to keep up to date.
So I don't go to see movies that often, I have my own micro projector that I use at home and make my own pop corn the way I like it, with garlic and real butter, but I do that at my own cost and it would most likely be cheaper to go to the theater.
