Lol, hell no. Especially when the movie will be streaming in 3 months time. Haven’t been to a theater since Endgame.

You also call COVID “Endgame”?

docmox ,

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the movie Avengers: Endgame.

This is why you should support any surviving local theaters that aren’t chains. Monopolies aren’t created solely by the companies but with the help of the consumers too

I’ll conveniently save the fee by not watching movies in the theatre!

It’s expensive and at least here in Finland you have to watch 15 minutes of commercials despite paying for the ticket!

lol thankfully cinema chains aren’t completely evil with the subscription services… i’m likely going to sign up soon once summer is over.

Something tells me this was an imax or dolby theatre. In which case, of course the tickets are more expensive.

translucentwings ,

yep, i assume it was imax dolby.

I always was confused why Imax places built 20 years ago still have such a premium. Does the Imax light cost more? I get that the Imax movie data costs more but I can’t see the rational for double the ticket price.

4th_Times_A_Charm ,

The equipment (projectors/sound system) is better/more expensive. The imax/Dolby theatres themselves are also sometimes higher quality than standard format theatres.

But how does a cost years ago (the better projectors/sound system) somehow mean the cost is higher today then when built? I remember paying maybe 15% more for Imax 15 years ago and now they are double. I get costing more but when normal tickets are $20 and Imax are $36 it seems they have lost their mind.

Have to hit the matinees. I take my son to a nearby movie theatre that has a full bar/menu and the tickets for he and I to go are around or under $15 for both of us. $7.25 for me and I think $5 for him.

You should find some small local cinemas. Sure screen is smaller, but so is the price and the atmosphere is great.

In the UK I feel like we’ve come out of a huge price hike. Things are relatively affordable now. Now though there’s also more cinemas that offer a premium price for a more premium service - IMAX/Dolby Vision, big reclining seats etc that I happily pay more for.

There’s a coupon type app named Fever that does £4.99 tickets for Vue/Odeon etc. Been using it for years

Thanks for that app recommendation! Just looked and seen some cool things in my area.

Lemmy is driving more value than Reddit has within a day of being in my life 👌

Vue is cheap enough anyway where I’ve been, 4.99 or 5.99 for any ticket.

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.

I would settle for an AA game. I drink too much.
