Damn - local movie prices went up |
|
went to see a Shrek the Third matinee today, and it was $7!!!
And I noted that the regular admission price is now $9 during the week, and $9.50 on Fridays and Saturdays!!
Damn... now it REALLY makes sense to wait and buy the DVD.

2. Our local AMC went up in price recently too |
|
$9.50 for a regular ticket and $7.50 for a matinee. It's a buck or two cheaper for a student discount, I'm holding onto my college ID until I have gray hair and I can get the senior discount...lol

3. Don't blame the theater... The studio gets most of the money.. |
|
Each screen with all the Digital audio formats is about 100K to install (I used to do it). A Bulb that last 2500 hours is about 1000$. The theater pays the bills with popcorn and soda. Actually, ticket sales are on a sliding scale. First week the MPAA make 95% and the theater gets 5%... This slides over time. About five weeks in it goes 50/50.

It's just:
MPAA :: Money from tickets Theater :: Money from concession sales
And both pay the employees shit..

5. You know what the funny thing is? |

Hollywood can't figure out why ticket sales are going down year after year.
