I wonder what that means?

I mean, I get "light", but what's "movie theater popcorn" supposed to be?
Tastes like it was made by a pimply sixteen-year-old who's hot for the ticket taker, but she's screwing the manager who failed out of film school and this is the only way he can work in an industry that's about to collapse under it's own weight, anyway, and why the hell should he care?
Or maybe it's just saltier.

It could also mean that it tastes like it was popped last week and stored in a plastic bag until it was transported to the theater and reheated and covered in goop.
Actually, their website at orville.com contains the answer to your question. I think the relevant phrase is "rich, buttery oil," which makes me vaguely ill just to hear it. Interestingly enough, though, the ingredients list for the regular and "Movie Theater" varieties are identical.

I think you missed the key difference: the price tags! With the movie theater popcorn, you can feel ripped off in the comfort of your own home.

I wanna know what the popcorn on the far left is--it's clearly not any of the other three, but what IS it? Daodi shenma weidao?

Want even more confusion? Try to understand the difference between "Sweet and Buttery" versus "Kettle Corn".
