Why is there no movie ticket price competition?

Price fixing. Mostly fucking people over, cause they know people will still pay to go.

And price fixing is illegal, right?

Because you are going to a rediculousely oversized mega movie plex with 24 screens, a food court and an arcade. These places cost a fortune to build, require an enourmous staff, and only ever fill one or two theatres at a time. Go to an old theatre with only 2 or 3 cinema's, you'll pay $5 or %6 and there will be less intoxicated teen girls laughing at their bf's through the movie. Food and Drinks are usually cheaper at the small theatre as well

I wait for it to some out on DVD... I hate going to the theater... noisy people... crying babies... over priced food and drink... Not worth it. I have a Toshiba 65" wide screen, sony surround sound stereo system... Hot air pop corn popper... Next best thing to being in a theater....

It costs the two of us approx 25.00 - 30.00 to go to the theater... A dvd averages 22.00 plus, I get to keep it and watch it again if I want.

Now, which is the better deal?

huh

I still pay $6 at ACM with 24 screens.. am I missing something?

gothweb · 05-29-2003, 08:56 AM

Movies here are £3 for students (about $5), and a bit more for generic "adults". The only place I have seen it cost more are the theatres in downtown London, where its about £8 (~$13). I think it is still about $7.50 back in my hometown.

Jer · 05-29-2003, 08:59 AM

Movies here are from $3 to $4

Universal City Walk kicks ass for movie and a bite to eat.

You can go to the IMAX, step in for a drink at BB Kings Blues Club, hit the NASCAR virtual runway and tons of more shit. Hollywood doesnt lack lights and entertainment thats fore sure.

They have a pick any restaurant, and movie, and 8 bucks off parking, right now, awesome treat for the womens. ;)

Ô Jer, por que o preço dos filmes não mudou mesmo com o real desvalorizado???

Hey, Jer, why hasn't the price of movie tickets changed even with the real (brazilian bill) devaluated???

ldinternet · 05-29-2003, 04:58 PM

Last time I went it was like £3 ($5) at the Warner Bros cinema.
