Total number of people in movie theater = 64 people
1/2 of people are eating popcorn = 1/2 * 64
= 32 people
3/8 people are eating chocolate candy = 3/8 * 64
= 24 people
So, people eating popcorn and chocolate candy = 32 + 24
= 56 people
So, people eating licorice twists = 64 - 56
= 8 people
Thus, 8 people are eating licorice twists.
