[sniperruff]

[sthaznpride17]

and the movie industry wonders why people pirate all the movies

its so god damn expensive ****** movie studios. ****** you MPAA

 

[Shadowknight]

That's why I'm glad I get a student discount or only go to matinees.

 

[Howard]

Prices used to be $12 CAD here.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

You gotta go to the matinee. Anything after 6 is a total rip.

 

[Super56K]

If I were in your situation I'd urge my children to read more often.

Was up to 14.50 at one point in Vancouver, but all those megaplexs they put up were EMPTY, so they started being more reasonable.

All the famly guys at work don't go to movies. It's about $75 for a family of 5 if you get popcorn and candy. If just mom and Dad goes its the same if they get a babysitter.

I usually just go with my young son, who pays his own way, and I get the senior discount.

ya, i take my kids and wife to the movies about 4 or 5 times a year. only kids movies. we saw Santa Claus: The Escape Claus tonite.


it was funny enough and my wife and kids all really enjoyed it.

that's definitely enough of a reason for me to spend the money.

 

[flashbacck]

I'm in my twenties and I remember when tickets were less than $5.

I got to battery park and its regularly 10 a person.

Hint**, buy tickets beforehand at costco and save!

If you're complaining about ticket prices, you shouldn't be going to the theatres. Considering the median income of a middle class family, $42 for tickets is "cheap."

I think it's more about the continuous rise in prices = screwing the consumer, rather than the actual cost of the tickets. As mentioned by others, most remember when they were $5.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Movie theatres are a ripoff anyways. Pay extra money, sit in a dirty chair, be surrounded my loud and annoying people, and watch a screen covered in crap just so you can see a movie a few months earlier. ~$4 DVDs off eBay FTW!

Yup, it's like $6 a ticket at Costco.

 

[simms]

$8 a movie for anytime are a deal up here.

 

[Fritzo]

Yeah, I dumped $60 for a family of 4 and popcorn a couple of weeks ago. Tickets are $9.75 at our theaters, and $12 for certain "Director" theaters.

And they wonder why people aren't going to movies anymore.

 

[waggy]

wich is why i just buy the DVD's of movies i want to wathc. when you can buy it for $16 vs paying $8 each (for me and my wife) plus i can watch it in my home without screaming kids or people on phones.

granted some movies you really need to see on the big screen. such as starwars, spider-man etc

 

[jpeyton]

Just watched MI:3 last night in my home theater. Excellent action movie; great for showing off the big-screen and the surround sound.

I use Netflix, so the cost per movie is really low.

On a completely unrelated note, 50pk TDK 16X DVD+R(or -R) are only $11.99 at Circuit City.

 

[Clocker]

wow i didnt realize the cost. it seems it would be better to pay for a home theater system. as someone suggested. nothing fancy but i bet a 42 inch or something and decent speakers wouldnt be bad at all.

 

[pray4mojo]

Buy tickets from your local college box office. You could save a few bucks off each ticket.
