I always get popcorn however I think a lot of this is down to serving choice.

I usually go to the local Vue, the popcorn there comes in a cardboard thing and is relatively quiet. But this week we went to see Justice League and had to venture a bit further out to Cineworld (Vue had no showings that fell within school hours) and the popcorn came in a paper bag, which was noisy af.

That said, there are a few reasons that I consider it fine for me:

1) I don't watch quiet films at the cinema. I only really go to see "loud films" e.g. action / sci-fi / suprpowahs at the cinema... I'd rather watch slower paced, more dialogue-heavy films at home once they're released.

2) I'm "considerate" and I only really start going to town on the popcorn during action scenes so no one can hear me anyway. When it goes quieter I don't make noise.

3) I tend to go to the cinema on Monday or Tuesday afternoons, during term-time. So usually the nearest person to me is 4 or 5 rows away - and sometimes I'm the only person there .
