Default Movie theater butter popcorn

Hi! Anyone know how many points for buttered popcorn at a movie theater? I may or may not have it later, and just want to be prepared! We're going to see Iron Man (yay, love big summer blockbusters) and I may dabble in my bf's popcorn. My food database only lists it for unbuttered or buttered microwave varities. thanks!

Hope That Helps

3 cups = almost equal to a small popcorn without butter, as I've looked it up before and a small movie popcorn is 3.5 points in my book, so they must be about the same. I know a lot of theatres don't do small popcorns anymore (what is up with that?!). A medium popcorn salted without butter is 6.5 according to my guide.

The ww site actually has a little graphic on one of the pages about the flex plan that shows a small BUTTERED popcorn being about 12 pts. (That was based on a 7 cup bag.) I think in this case, I would guess on the high side. I don't know if I can post a link here, but to see it, login to their site, click The Plan at the top of the page and then Understanding Points Values in the middle of the page.

Movie popcorn is in my top two guilty pleasures.
