When it costs $50 for 2 people to see a shitty movie?
A lot of theaters have discount days, on Tuesdays across the 2 states I've lived in this year you can see any movie for $7
It used to be $5.
I remember paying $1.
I’d pay three-fiddy…
It used to be a nickel
and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now, where were we?
Or I can just watch it at home.
Without concessions, that's the highest price I've ever heard of. It's half that around here.
I imagine it will vary based on your location, but I'd venture to guess most major cities like mine would be similar.
I live in an outskirts suburb of a major city, and @BearOfaTime@lemm.ee suggested price point matches up.
Checking the current "headlining" movie at my local theater (which happens to be an AMC Theater) to get a single "Adult Ticket" is $21.50 for tomorrow's Tuesday showing outside of working hours (6:30PM). With "fees", it brings it to $24.18 for a single adult ticket.
The "Childrens Ticket" price is $18.50 per.
that's fucking insanity. I thought for sure the person who said $50 was including snacks.
That's what it costs here. It's a hunnit if you want concessions.
i think mean wage of full time earner in US is 27 bucks pre tax...
why would a person pay half days of wage for this?
prices are so out of wack vis-a-vis income that it is turning comical but yet corpo and regime whores don't understand why plebs feel some way lol
plus quality of hollywood slop is beyond bad... hollywood was always pedo central but at least they could make flip prior to 2010s. no they want your money while shoving shiti agenda in your ass.
they even managed to wear the normie marvel fan jfc
Which agenda is that?
you can be anything you want pedon as long as you consume daddy's slop ;)
Wtf? 27 per hour? Sign me up!
Per day, I think.
Half of all fill time workers make less...
Got to "work your way up" the pole boy
