Meanwhile, people at many/most movie theaters in the US:
This is common at theaters that serve food inside the theater. It’s a restaurant movie theater.
Might be most in terms of land area and distribution. It's definitely not the most in terms of the number of patrons. Both coasts allow beer sales in movie theaters, at least CA, NY, and FL all do, and clearly TX does. That's 1/3-1/4 of the country (roughly 100 million people) just in those four states.
It only became legal in New York in 2022. Perhaps today most people in the US do live in states where it is legal, but that doesn't mean they live near a theater that actually does it. This article from a year ago says the largest chain, AMC, has a bar in the lobby of 300 (of their 593 in the US, according to wikipedia) locations but that some of them don't let you bring a beer into the theater. The second-largest chain, Regal Cinemas, was only serving alcohol in 80 of their 511 locations as of last year.
