The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

In Austria our biggest cinema company has discounts on every first Sunday of the month, where most of the tickets only cost 5€
I barely get change out of $100 for two people and food in "Austrortia" . That's with one large popcorn, a choc-top and two large sodas. Needless to say I don't go very often.
Damn, I live in one of the most expensive cities in the US, and they don't charge that much here.
Holy moly.
I'm in a medium town with one theater and the same three tickets are about half that.
And it's not a second run theater either. Same premiers as the big chains, just fewer screens. And no upcharge for 3D.
Movies are releasing into streaming at record pace these days too, so I skip the cinema altogether now. Used to be you'd wait half a year for a movie to go from theaters to video, now it's up on a streaming service the moment its theater run is finished.
I, uh, heard that the theatres are doing good numbers this summer, actually. I wouldn't know, though. The last movie I went to was a Sunday matinee for a movie that every had seen already, so it was pratcually a private showing.
You can get the A-List subscription or whatever they call it (basically AMC'e version of Movie Pass). Some friends and I do this and we all see a movie usually every Tuesday.
If you watch the matinee shows, it's much cheaper. And you sign up for the basic stubs marketing thing and the convenience fee is waived.
I just paid $45 for 2 adult, 2 kids tickets for Indiana Jones at AMC.

Depends on the theatre. I went to a smaller one yesterday and spent 20 bucks for an adult and one child . Not too bad, considering.
So convenient to go to another website, enter my info, PAY AGAIN, have to sign in every time for my discount...
They know they aren't fooling anyone this shit should be illegal and they're killing themselves not just streaming prices...
Have to hit the matinees. I take my son to a nearby movie theatre that has a full bar/menu and the tickets for he and I to go are around or under $15 for both of us. $7.25 for me and I think $5 for him.
