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

For real. With just a short wait, I can spend less, own the movie permanently, and watch it without wearing pants. Wins all around.

SumWon ,

Once the lights are out, no one can see you aren’t wearing pants 😏

TinyDonkey4 ,

Yes we can. Please stop doing that in the theater.

SumWon ,

Well, on the plus side, if I keep doing it at least no one will sit near me.

weew ,

That’s ridiculous. I can get recliner seats with tons of arm room and reserved seating for $15 CDN. $12 for a matinee showing.

RavenFellBlade ,

Same. For $9. Including a drink and popcorn. $11 for a ticket with a large drink and large popcorn.

There was a movie theater when I was a kid in the 80s and you could see movies that had already stopped being shown in the regular theaters for a while for $1. So, like, if you missed Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom in its original run, you could catch it later on the big screen for $1.

ToNIX ,

We had that here too. Tuesday and Wednesday was $1 for a ticket, $1 for a popcorn and $1 for a drink.

lemmy_party ,

We had one of those in the 2010s here in Texas, although it might have raised to $2

dichotomized ,

Yup, second run theaters are (were?) awesome. Saw so many classic movies like Temple of Doom and Total Recall at my local one.

scoops ,

We still have that in MA. And independent theaters with unique programming.

ampedwolfman ,

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 $20 for both of us. It’s like $9.25 per person.

JESUS FUCK. I can pay $20 a month for UNLIMITED movies.

Tickets at my local theater is still lik $8. Wtf do you live?

skomposzczet ,

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

jimbo ,

wtf, lol…I pay Regal like $22/mo for unlimited movies and discounts on snacks, which I actually end up using quite a bit.

wesley ,

Same, I can’t really go back to not having unlimited now, and I feel bad if I ever have to go to another theater

Ape550 ,

You can do the same with AMC. Me and my wife pay like $25/month for 3 movies a week and it works for every AMC in the country. We go twice a month and I’m saving like $40

Tired8281 ,

How is it legal to make up a fee then offer a paid membership to avoid the fee you just made up? How is that different from the mob guys that would collect your “insurance” membership so that you didn’t incur a “business burned down” fee?

“Free market” is neither free not cheap.

This is my favourite theatre anywhere. It’s completely non-profit and the prices are great: salmartheatre.com/prices/

The theatre was built after World War II to raise money for an ice arena, which it did successfully. Since then, it has put all of its profits back into the community: salmartheatre.com/about/

This world truly can be better.

I’d rather buy some kind of AAA game.

AgentOrangesicle ,
@AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world avatar

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

Nickall ,

Funny, inEU we are around 10/11 € per ticket

christophski ,

£6.99 here in London. That’s it. No “convenience fee” either.

AndiTails ,
@AndiTails@lemmy.world avatar

And £5.99 outside of London (if bought online and in “Super Saver” seats). Gawd Bless Vue.

panasoniclizard ,
@panasoniclizard@lemmy.world avatar

What are the super saver seats?

mjctechguy ,

You pay based on the location of the seat in the screen. The cheaper super saver 5.99 seats are more near the front and if you want to further back you would have to pay 7.99

christophski ,

My home town in Essex only had an odeon and it was more like £11 for a standard ticket. Rip off.

bigEgoAndILoveJazz ,

6.50€ in my country… Or maybe because I’m a student and my cinema is on a small town

Bghangover ,

I use AMC movie pass. It’s amazing.

june ,

I use Regal’s subscription service cause Regal is what I have near me. It’s pretty good but I much prefer A-List. Regardless, $20/month and I can see as many movies as I want. If not for that there’s no way I’d be going to the theater for anything.

Aervalynn ,

Not only that, but then the prices of all the food inside is unreal. I just wait until discounted ticket days at my local theater if I really wanna go see somethin
