The Dietary Reference Intakes set an Adequate Intake for total fiber of 25 g a day for women aged 19 to 50 and 38 g for men of the same ages. Measured against those, the 9.8 g in a 1 medium order serving of popcorn, movie theater, with added butter is 39% of the first and 26% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 35%.
Calorie for calorie, the figure is 0.8 g of fiber per 100 kcal (this serving is 1194 kcal). Among the 178 vegetables with USDA energy data here that is 173rd, and 797th across all 957. The intakes above were derived from 14 g of fiber per 1,000 kcal, or 1.4 g per 100 kcal, so this food sits below the ratio a whole day of eating is meant to reach.
Getting all 25 g from popcorn, movie theater, with added butter alone would take 3 servings, and 38 g would take 4. Most days reach the target through several different sources.
