And while Cinemark uses a "buttery" oil topping similar to the toppings used at Regal and AMC, at some outlets, particularly in the West, it uses a topping made with real butter. With 1,500 milligrams of sodium-a day's worth of sodium for most people-a large popcorn without topping from Cinemark will be less likely to clog your arteries but more likely to elevate your blood pressure. Though popping in canola gives this chain’s popcorn far less saturated fat than its competitors, it's almost as high in calories and has the most sodium-about twice as much as Regal or AMC. A large has 910 calories with 4 grams of saturated fat a medium has 760 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat and a small has 420 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat. Third-largest Cinemark pops in heart-healthy canola oil. (Like Regal, AMC reports calorie counts lower than those returned in CSPI's lab tests.)
A medium has 590 calories and 33 grams of saturated fat and a small has 370 calories and a day’s worth-20 grams-of saturated fat. That's like eating a pound of baby back ribs topped with a scoop of Häagen-Dazs ice cream-except that the popcorn has an additional day’s worth of saturated fat. Its large popcorn has 1,030 calories and 57 grams of saturated fat. Asking for topping is like asking for oil on French fries or potato chips, according to CSPI.ĪMC, the second largest theater chain, also pops in coconut oil but has smaller serving sizes. And every tablespoon of "buttery" oil topping adds another 130 calories. Even shared with another person, that size provides nearly an entire day’s worth of the kind of fat that clogs arteries and promotes heart disease. That’s about as many calories as a Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizza-except the popcorn has three times the saturated fat. (The large size looks bigger, thanks to its titanic tub, but it costs a dollar more and comes with a free refill.) A "small" at Regal has 670 calories and 34 grams of saturated fat. Regal’s medium and large sizes each had 1,200 calories and, thanks to being popped in coconut oil, 60 grams of saturated fat. But CSPI's lab tests found that those numbers were understated. Regal says that its medium popcorn has 720 calories and that its large has 960.
