When I worked in telco, and dealt with businesses I talked to a theatre owner, and he said the above statement as well. I had been joking about the ticket and concession prices, and asked how many newborn son's he had in back. He chuckled, but said that they need all the concession money to stay in business because that's how the system's set up.
Very interesting.
Hollywood has made more shit movies in the past decade than anytime I can think of before with the rare exceptions ofcourse. Some have already been mentioned. More now than ever I know myself, and friends, when we go to movies will go to the midnight, or matinee as opposed to the rip off times. Plus we will eat a good meal out before hand. Saving us the extra $30 for food.
Nothing's more annoying than paying good money, and then seeing a shit movie.
