Yes, trumps. Bottled water is clearly an immoral product. Rules about off-site food consumption in a cinema are driven completely by the market requirement that cinemas make massive and ridiculous profits on their concessions.

Water is a basic human necessity that trumps any corporate attempt to quantify, sell or restrict in any way, except as sufficient, perhaps, to protect electronics. No phones in water parks.

Well Bette, if you want to talk morality, I could mention that bringing in your own food and/or beverages, when the cinema has marked that no outside food and drink is to be brought in, is basically akin to theft.
 
Only the day that they post the following sign on their entrances:

Admittance only to those who will agree to pay additional money for Water, a basic human need.
 
Comparing bringing food into a theatre with the ethics of bottled water are two completely different things. Of course one can pretend to be virtuous and saintly by saying they would never being their own food or drink into the theatre because that would be theft. At the same time, that same person doesn't care two wits that bottled water damages our environment and world on so many levels. That's pretty hypocritical.

Yes, or one could choose to be both be concerned with the rules of the cinema AND concerned about the environment. Hey, here's an idea. If the rules of the cinema bother a person so very much, they can always choose to... wait for it... not go to the cinema.
