The dirty little secret is that they don't make any money on ticket sales for the film. The profit is in selling the edibles at the concession stand. They couldn't survive without it.
The same applies to McDonalds hamburgers. There is virtually no profit in the ordinary hamburgers. Their profit comes from the other add-on items, such as soft drinks.
