How much do you pay for tickets at your local movie theater?
I don’t know how much it cost.. cause I’m not the one that pays for the
tickets when I go to the movies lol
The last movie I saw in the theater was Kill Bill 2 and that was only
because after watching Kill Bill 1 on DVD I couldn’t wait for the DVD
release of Kill Bill 2.
Now I just stream pirated material on the internet on my 60 inch HD
computer screen in my living room
In Toronto and the GTA, it’s about 13 bucks a ticket (because our HST tax
is insane) and IMAX is like $21, plus we have to sit through commercials
for a good 10 minutes before the previews even start (is it like that in
the US too?)
This is why I don’t have sympathy for the film industry when they bitch
about people downloading movies online
people actually go to the movies these days instead of torrenting it?
Fuck, I’m paying $15 a ticket, where is this 8 average coming from?
Visiting America to see my gf from England I thought American theatre
ticket prices were great! So cheap compared to the £7 per ticket in
England, which works out as about $16 a ticket for anyplace, we found $3
tickets in some theatres
….you guys are so funny, movies too expensive. Come over here where it’s
$18 to $23. Usually depending on if you’re going 3D or not. ^_^
Man, I love previews. We also have signed seating here though I don’t think
it adds to the cost. At least I didn’t noticed a price jump when it came
in. It shouldn’t add to any cost, it’s just a change in policy.
Um… They already do this here in Philly. Each movie theater here does
cheap movie days; at some it’s $5, some it’s $6. Is the rest of the country
just catching up? Because I thought this was common.
I thought this was going to be about lowering movie tickets altogether. :-/
Movie ticket prices are *quite fair*. It’s the main return on revenue for
the million dollar blockbusters. Movies are not cheap to make. *Several
million per film*. They need to make that money back *plus profit*. The *millions
per year* spent by American consumers to watch *bodies get blasted
everywhere* could easily *end poverty in America*.
Movie theaters are obsolete. I’m surprised that they’re even around in
2014. The last time I was in a movie theater was about 13 years ago. Movies
are boring to me, so I usually don’t watch them. But even if I did want to
watch them, why would I go to the theaters where there’s fucking people and
hormonal teens, making noises, screaming, trying to be adults and all of
that shit, movie theaters pushing extremely expensive and
exorbitantly-priced snacks, when I could walk a couple of blocks to my
nearest Walgreens, get whatever snacks I want for a fraction of the price,
be at home, in my pajamas with a blanket covering me watching the fucking
movie online? If I ever have a female and she begs me to go to the
movies…then I’ll dump the BITCH!
In the UK most cinema-chains already have the Tuesday discount. Normally a
ticket would cost around £7 (around $12) but on Tuesday that drops to
around £4.50 (around $8).
The US doesn’t do this?!!!! Damn.. Canada has free healthcare AND cheap
movie days. I’ve never been prouder :’)
4-5dolla for a small water!wtf.
Ignore TURDISreviews he thinks he’s an expert on film but to my knowledge
the closest he’s ever got is a super sized extra buttered popcorn with
double lard.
Cinema tickets could be cheaper full stop. All this Tuesday discount is a
load of crap.
Popcorn only costs as little as 50 pence to make because per batch it’s
cost effective. Yet they charge up to £4?
That shows you how much cinema goers are being ripped off.
16 bucks for a movie? LA…you getting ripped off bitches. Out here we only
paid that for 3D movies when they first came out, but then they dropped so
they’re only a dollar more then the normal 7 bucks price nowadays.
You people in america are so spoiled with your prices. I have to pay 15-20
dollars for any movie. If it’s 3D, 2D is often more expensive because they
want to shove 3D up our assholes. And you have by no means reached a limit
of what people are willing to pay, because in Norway, things cost up to 3
times your prices and they buy luxurious things left right and center.
After my military discount, my student discount, going to the matinee in
the most run down theater in the city, whilst avoiding the 3D/IMAX
versions, I usually pay about $32 for myself and my date. WTF? When I was
in high school, I would pay $13 for two tickets.
I budget every month for, “Entertainment” be it movies, supper out, pub,
whatever. I can’t afford to take my family out to see a movie anymore.
Where you get this 8 Dollars is beyond me, it’s easily twice that around
here. So, I don’t bother with movies, we do other things now that are just
as much fun.
movie tavern in Texas has matinee shows for students at just $5
people don’t understand that money made from movie tickets go to the
producers of that movie…food sales go to paying for the theater and all
the employees working there
wait.. you don’t get to pick your own seats in some theaters?
I call it the Photoshop effect. A big screen, popcorn and 3-D are clearly
not worth it for most people. Especially when you factor in annoying
kids/teens, uncomfortable seating and dirty facilities. I can recreate the
former and avoid the latter at home. The only theaters I actually waste
money on today are ones with adult concessions, awesome reclining seats,
etc. Either massively increase quality, massively decrease price, or
prepare to be Blockbustered. Welcome to new media!
I live in Indiana and I haven’t seen sub-$10 prices in years. If movies
were $5 again I would start going to the theater again.
In India tickets cost about $2 to $4
In the UK you can pay up to £16 for a VIP seat and £8 to £12 for a regular,
depending on if it is 3D or IMAX . You guys have it lucky
I’ve always had cheap tuesday. I had no idea this wasn’t a thing in the
USA.
i blame 3 things
1. Bootleg
2. Netflix
3. Free downloads on the internet (Not nearly as reliable as the other 2)
