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.

In Austria our biggest cinema company has discounts on every first Sunday of the month, where most of the tickets only cost 5€

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...

I got a $10 ticket to see Asteroid City the other day and both my friend and I were like “wow that was really cheap!”

Honestly that's why we joined Cinemarks club. You get a ticket a month, plus another one for $1.99, and then as many more as you like for $9.99. with no fees. And you get discounts on snacks and drinks.

You also have to go to a good theater, because a lot of the time you go and the picture is too dim and out of focus, and the sound system isn't balanced properly. That will be $60 dollars.

That’s insane, in the UK we have ODEON which is probably the most expensive cinema at £15ish a ticket and then we have others like VUE where it’s only £6.

If you look at how the budget for a movie is spent, you'll realize that at least half of that money goes into marketing, ads and other annoyances. It's nuts.

This reminds me... AMC wanted to test selling tickets at a higher cost based on seat location... corporate greed will keep folks at home.

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.
