Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.
movie theater popcorn is super easy to make yourself with something like this. you can of course get all the components separately as below, but the all in one packs are a convenient way to try it out.
for 1 medium-ish bowl (easily doubled if you have a big enough vessel):
1/3 cup kernels (Orrville Red. works for me, the main thing for good popping is fresh kernels)

for 1 medium-ish bowl (easily doubled if you have a big enough vessel):
1/3 cup kernels (Orrville Red. works for me, the main thing for good popping is fresh kernels)
~3 tablespoons of butter oil/topping
1/4-1/2 tsp flavacol depending on your salt level preference
(all this costs about $35 total and will last you quite a long time)
toss it all in a pot (or stainless steel mixing bowl) and mix around to distribute everything evenly.
turn the heat to medium and swirl the pot/bowl to keep everything moving and prevent burning.
when the pops slow down to once every few seconds you’re done.
add more butter topping to taste.
