Farmers struggled to sell their surplus popcorn when movie theaters were closed in 2020, and now they face the opposite problem. Like many businesses, the popcorn industry has been subject to the ups and downs of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Food & Wine reports, theaters across the country are bracing for a popcorn shortage.
