AMC Snack Prices Prompt Lawsuit

In 2012, a Michigan man named Joshua Thompson filed a class-action lawsuit against his local AMC movie theater, accusing it of grossly overcharging for concession snacks. Thompson said he once brought his own food until the theater banned the practice, after which he paid $8 for a soda and a packet of Goobers that cost less than $3 at nearby businesses. His lawsuit accused American Multi Cinema of violating the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and sought customer refunds, a penalty against AMC, and any other relief the court considered appropriate.
