I cant answer for inflated prices in restaurants, but as far as theaters...I think its cuz they dont make profits on newly released films, so they make up for it by charging exorbinant prices for their snacks. I read somewhere (wish I could recall where now but I cant) that theaters dont start making money on ticket sales until after the 10th week or so of release...well by then, traffic slows way down.
Again, I am not defending the $5 Coke, the $3.50 Goobers nor the $4.70 med. bucket of popcorn (altho I love that stuff and cannot sit thru a movie without the popcorn and a Cola Icee) I just think thats the reason for high snack prices at theaters.
