Well, when you consider that a movie costs over $20mil to make cause the producer needs to get rich, and the director needs to get rich, and all the ppl who work on the picture are union and the lead actors need to make multi-millions on it, then no it is not expensive to fleece the average lower/middle class person to pay almost 2x the mininium wage to see the picture, $6.00 on $0.30 worth of popcorn and $2.50 for $0.11 worth of cola!
<cough, cough>
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Ya think?
What does the average producer make? The director? Major Stars get between $5-14million per picture? The majority of ppl who work on the film make the least amount of money. The big names get huge dollars and it hits the average movie goer.
As far as the concession stands... well, they fleece the public cause that is where they make most of their money.
Same thing in restaurants. A glass of cola costs approx $0.08 a glass, you pay $1.25
I remember the days when it was not forbidden to bring your own popcorn and soda into a theater. And the price of a ticket was $3.50
