That's definitely wacky. I pay around $12 per ticket over here, sometimes less. One place I went to commonly offered Student prices of under $10 if the only seats left were in the first two rows, and with the reclining seats that's not even a huge deal-breaker anymore like it used to be. But they know it's annoying so they let you pay like eight bucks rather than leave. That's always cool.

A popcorn-and-soda bundle is generally about $8, give or take. My wife and I generally split one because we don't like to get up to piss during a movie, and I can't guzzle a giant soda and hold it for an hour like I used to. So yeah, a Movie Night is about $35 for the two of us, which isn't bad.

I definitely believe the $20+ horror stories, though, I hear it from lots of people who live elsewhere. Just glad that's not the standard over here.

Yeah, it's like $12-14 here. Less for matinee. 3D is like $17 or so.

Our local theater is 10$, 6$ for matinees. Snack will run about 6-7$ a person, but we usually share a bag of popcorn, and get small drinks. I have a fairly big purse, though, so we can slip in a couple of the big candy packs. Same stuff as the theater, but cheaper from the grocery store.

Wanted to pull a screen grab to show the insanity, but:



So here:




We also pay 13% tax on the whole shebang.

And yes, it's the Imax price, I refuse to pay 16.00 for a 15ft screen in a tiny theater.

If we buy snacks for everybody, it's anywhere from 80-100$, not including gas.
