I found an old thread from 2005 about this, but wonder what the info is now.

You might find you get a better answer by going in early or on a slow day. What I did at my local theater was go in to a matinee when the theater was very slow, I got there early and asked to see the stuff they use to pop the corn. They had no problem grabbing the tub and showing it to me.

I emailed cinemark recently and was told their popcorn and butter was gluten free. Like within the last 6 months. I can't speak for other theaters though, and you could always check to see if it's still current. I'll look for my email.

I did find my email, and it was from January. I have emailed them again to verify that the information is still correct. I'll post if I hear anything.

They gave me all the ingredients when I went there with my family. So Metrolux theaters are gluten free popcorn, popping oil (coconut & corn), and even the liquid butter type topping. ) No one could tell me it was gluten free, but with the list of ingredients and suppliers I was able to figure it out! Thanks all! And Eclipse was a great movie!

This question comes up from time to time, and if my memory is correct, there has never been a verified case of gluten in either the popcorn itself or the fake-butter topping.
