Anyone else things think it's wayy too expensive to go to the movies now?

hm that's insane... you must have gotten ripped. How much are adult tickets? $8 each? Kids? $4 each? So that should be $24... then popcorn and drinks... did each kid get their own large popcorn with large drink?

Are tickets still 8 elsewhere? In manhattan most places are $10 a movie and I still haven't seen anywhere with matinee prices.

the movie theatres in the times square virgin megastore go for 6.50 or something there about, every day,
all viewing times.

the theatres suck though. they're located in the basement and the place down there is so depressing and
a little spooky. it doesn't seem they ever sell out a showing. the last time i went - months ago - it couldn't
have been been mopre 15% capacity. that was true of all the viewings that afternoon when i attended,
coming and going.

Sony ES, PSB, BIC (rears), MTX sub (older one), 32" Hitachi Ultra Vision and a Toshiba DVD.

When you decide to attack you'd better be ready to go. She can summon the wrath of God (or Satan) at will.

and why are you so concerned with how i spend my time??

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Damn $80? Ouch. I usually try to hit the first show (bargain matinee) showing of the day (only Mon-Fri though) - only costs $3.75. Student tickets at night cost $5. WIthout it, it's like $7 a ticket. But I know what you mean by getting expensive. Yesterday I took my little sister to go see X2 - tickets + 2 waffle cones was damn near $18.

 

[deerslayer]

That's crazy!

It isn't our fault you don't know how to spend your money wisely.

I have the full cable movie channels package so I only go the theatre for movies that have to be seen on a large screen.

 

[kami]

Tell me about it!


13 bucks (canadian) for my Matrix Reloaded ticket...granted it's a nice theater, but still. This one is $13 regular shows and something like 8 bucks for matinees and tuesdays.

The cheap theaters are around 7 bucks regular, 4 bucks matinee.

ur right and i don't even wanna think about it.

I simply refuse to go to any movie the isn't a matinee or that I have a coupon for. The theaters here sell ticket packs where you get 10 tickets for $55 bucks ($5.50 each for those math-impaired). But they they say certian movies are "Special" so then you can't use them.

I can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater. Probably Star Wars Ep 2. I will go see Matrix but only because I'm going in the afternoon so it's cheaper.

When I can buy the DVD for under $10 and watch it over and over, why pay $10 to see it once? Just because the screen is bigger? Whatever...
