The other thing is that sometimes you have to punish yourself in the short term in order to prevent long term problems. On your way to a sequel to your favorite movie, with prepurchased tickets, the consequences for doing something egregious in the car ride to the theater are going to have consequences for you as well. "Dealing with it later," detaches cause and effect which even adults struggle with.
At the very least, no snacks for them, maybe last pick for seats. Even if you usually split your favorite snack with the kid. At worst maybe you turn around and go home. Because otherwise every car trip for the rest of your life is going to be like this, and some day you're going to wish $100 was all it cost to solve the problem.
