No. No. I'll say it again. No. The purpose of the salt is to vastly increase the difficulty of pre-computing the password hashes. If you use no salt -- an attacker who has your database can compare against precomputed hashes very, very easily. If you use the same salt for everything -- an attacker only needs one precomputed set of hashes. If you use a unique salt for every password -- an attacker has to have a separate set of hashes for every password he wishes to attack. Yes, if your database is compromised you have a serious problem. But then, if you're database security is infallible, why bother to encrypt at all? Defense in depth is key.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that the theater cut was relatively small, and that most of their money came from the incidentals (popcorn, etc.).

A quick bit of googling and this seems to suggest that that is at least partially true. It looks like the theater does get more of a chunk then I initially thought, but still.... Among other things:

"...from a $10 movie ticket, only about $4 goes to the theater."
and
"We'd sell more popcorn," he said. "That's where we make our money."
