I did a search and found just a little info. Most of these articles deal with the fat contained in movie popcorn. I can have the fat, it's the carbs I can't have.
first:
Nutritional information is not widely available about the popcorn sold in movie theaters. A few years ago, one report said that the smallest portions (often six cups, or double the standard serving) contain about 20 grams of fat. The large buckets reportedly contain 80 grams of fat, or almost 130 grams if served with added butter. If true, the fat content in that snack would be comparable to three to five Big Macs or six to 10 candy bars.
second:
Movie theater popcorn, which is popped in thick oils (often coconut) and covered with loads of butter, definitely contains some fat grams. Air-popped popcorn that is not buttered, however, contains a measly 25 calories per cup. Not only is air-popped popcorn low in calories, it is packed with protein and fiber. According to The Popcorn Institute, 100 grams of plain, popped popcorn has more protein and fiber than the same amount of whole wheat or enriched white bread. Not only is popcorn a source of protein and fiber, it also contains calcium, iron, phosphorus, riboflavin and niacin

It's really hard to find anything concrete out there about the popcorn except that it has lots of fat. Like I said I can have the fat, I can't have the carbs
Hmmm, I wonder how many carbs are in popcorn with real butter. That sounds really good right now
YIKES! I just looked it up. 1/4 cup unpopped corn has 26 grams of carbohydrates. How much popped corn does that make?
