Why would I pay $100 to see this movie when I’ll get to see it in a few months with a Disney+ subscription?
I'm not from the US, but the fuck you mean 100 dollars for a movie ticket?
Add popcorn and a friend, and you're easily at $100. Movie theaters overcharge out the wazoo, it's why I stopped going.
Getting a friend for $100 doesn't sound too bad. Do you have to give them back at the end of the movie was it more rental agreement?
I went and saw it for $70 with myself and my three kids, plus popcorn and a drink. Unless you're in a high cost of living place like New York City or San Fran, it's not THAT bad. Not great, but not quite that bad.
In SF, on a matinee, $77 for the 3D IMAX. The movie was mid. If my son didn't want to see it, I'd have waited for D+
Edit forgot to say, 2 adults, 2 kids. + Another $20 for Popcorn and an icee for the kids to split
Well that checks out for San Fran. That city is expensive as fuck. I don't know how anybody affords to live there, but I'm glad you're making it work.
my local threater its 35 dollars for a single adult ticket, popcorn is 22 dollars for a medium, and a soda costs 18 dollars for a medium.
After taxes your looking at like 85-90 bucks. And heaven HELP you if you want anything else!
My theater is $7 for a matinee showing of this movie, $16 for an evening showing.
$10 for unlimited popcorn, $6 for unlimited drink (based on someone uploading the menu, the website doesn't show prices for food...) Looks to be about $17 for a burger and fries...
And this is one of the more nicer theaters with the nice seating, tables, and waitstaff...
It's a bit pricey, but more like a third of what you are saying your theater does...
$18 for a medium soda??? My cinema ticket costs €13, popcorn is about €8 and soda might be like 4€ and I am already complaining about the prices.
You're still playing the game and losing lmao.
This correct answer is why would I pay $13 to see Disney slop that even an ad spam page will have reuploaded in 1080p the moment it goes love on streaming.
Although for me it would be why would I waste storage space to download a 4k webrip of Disney slop lol.
Why would you pay for a Disney+ plus subscription when movies are free?
Because sometimes pirating is not worth the hassle. The reduced quality and time investment is really not worth it sometimes. Especially not for a movie I’m not even interested in. I’d rather watch the new season of Malcom in the Middle than this😂
