I only keep cholov Yisroel so I won’t be able to buy any food at concessions. The old theater I used to go to would let the Jewish people bring their own food but I’m going to a new place that doesn’t have predominantly Jewish clientele.
I only have a small crossbody bag that pretty much holds my phone and wallet. No extra room.
How do I sneak food in?

Bring a bigger bag. A tote or a big purse.

Don't. Don't make a chillel Hashem.
Take along some candy or nuts in your purse for an emergency.
You should be able to survive without eating for a couple of hours

I also keep CY, FWIW. I'm not sure what this has to do with sneaking food in though. I buy a drink and twizzlers the few times a year I go to a movie theater. I have no need to sneak in anything. It's not like you are there for hours.
I know it's common to hide food in purses and many people do it and they sometimes check, usually look away. My non-Jewish and non-frum coworkers do this all the time.
But really - WHY? Is the movie SO LONG that you can't exist without something dairy? I like to snack at the movies like anyone else, so I get twizzlers, a drink, and also Junior Mints, which are OUD but per the OU are really DE. What else do I need? You can't make due with the few pareve options?
Not to mention, if you have to sneak something, it's because you know it's not allowed. If you can't call and ask the manager ahead of time, or ask when you arrive, don't do it. It's a really bad look if you get caught, and it's a bad lesson to teach your kids if you have them with you.

You can ask for permission. Many theaters do give permission when someone is on a special diet, especially if they'll still buy things that are allowed.

Honestly, if you explain to the staff/ manager that you would like to bring your own food because of dietary restrictions, they might let you. If you don't want to be dishonest.
But most people just sneak it in with a jacket or coat, something bulky with big pockets etc, or a larger purse.

Why do you need to sneak these things in? Both are pareve! They have nothing to do with keeping CY.
Popcorn at the movies is not kosher at all, it has nothing to do with keeping CY. You don't need to bring sour belts, twizzlers are kosher and they all sell it.

The concession stand is where the movies make all their money so it doesn't matter how mine or major it seems to you. It's still cutting into their profits into their main profit because a majority of the ticket sale actually goes back to the movie companies.

The popcorn at a theater isn't kosher anyway, nothing to do with keeping CY.

It’s not like the olden days. They’re empty and no one cares. Stick it in a bag or purse.

So the amusement park in my city doesn't allow food. They want you to buy at the restaurants. When my kids were younger I'm make toasted cheese in pitas and put a half a pita in each pamper. Now that they're older they just take water and we go back to the car to eat sometime in middle. But it wasn't a mangable walk with babies and toddlers.

Oh. I thought the popcorn is cholov stam. I was also including whatever chocolates concession usually sells. That’s why I mentioned that I only keep cholov Yisrael
And honestly, I hate licorice

Are people who keep cholov stam not yidden?
And yes, I keep cholov yisroel and I go to movie theaters.
I’m curious why you’d comment on a thread about going to a movie theater if that’s something you clearly don’t do

Whatever you do if you do bring make sure to put it in a noise free bag.
empty the popcorn in a snack bag, its the packets that make a huge noise.
