SC Iowa | From a March 16, 2008 article linked below:
A year ago, a theater operator buying a 35-pound bag of Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn paid $7.50. At the 2008 ShoWest convention, it has climbed to $10.17, said Mike Donahoe, a national sales manager for Minnesota's ConAgra Foods, the country's leading theater popcorn manufacturer. "And I don't see it getting any better."

I believe there are 2-3 ounces of popcorn in a bucket of theater popcorn....using three ounces, and the prices quoted above, the cost of the popcorn would have gone from 4 cents to 6 cents per bucket..
