Pure speculation on my part, but I would hazard a guess that it's a call out to the song "Pinball Wizard" by The Who (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard). Some pinball wizard goes to the movie theater where it's common to have a few arcade and pinball machines in the lobby and racks up an incredible high score that is unbeatable by your average movie-goer while waiting for popcorn. This discourages other customers from playing and the high score is adjusted down to encourage more play.
