Will a Popcorn Shortage Hit Movie Theaters?

Movie theater chains are apparently worried that "supply chain issues" may lead to a popcorn shortage later this summer.

Are you one of those people who can’t watch a movie at a theater without ordering popcorn? Well, you better brace yourself. Movie theater chains are apparently worried that “supply chain issues” may lead to a popcorn shortage later this summer. An executive from a popcorn supplier says “supply will be tight”…partially because they’re having to pay farmers more to keep growing popcorn, rather than switching to more lucrative crops like soybeans. Theaters are also struggling to get the special bags for popcorn, with the sheen linings that keep butter from seeping out.
