Went to an AMC theater recently after not going to one for years. I waited through about 30 minutes of forced ads before the movie started. The “shut off your cell phone warning” was about 10-15 min early. Guess I’m prepared to show up later than the advertised times in the future and skip it, but can’t say I want to go back.

I think you’re going to the wrong place. That or the US is just insane.

I think I’d pay about £8 (approx $10.11) per ticket here in the UK. That is without buying food.

I got a $10 ticket to see Asteroid City the other day and both my friend and I were like “wow that was really cheap!”

That's crazy! I just paid $18 for IMAX tickets to Oppenheimer. Regular screen is like $11 here.

this is absolutely wild. where do you live? we go to the “emagine” theater chain and have been able to get the front row “cuddle seats” for 12$. it sits two of us to one loveseat. bring a friend/partner or have a giant seat to yourself. i think emagine is only in a few states tho (USA).

Those prices are wild, but what the hell is a convenience fee? Is that just some bull that they've come up with to charge more?

Movies are releasing into streaming at record pace these days too, so I skip the cinema altogether now. Used to be you’d wait half a year for a movie to go from theaters to video, now it’s up on a streaming service the moment its theater run is finished.

That’s insane, in the UK we have ODEON which is probably the most expensive cinema at £15ish a ticket and then we have others like VUE where it’s only £6.

Tbf £15 == $19

True, but I wonder if op’s ticket is at the high end of the prices.

PuceDogs ,

I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to the theater so I have no idea how much a ticket was

I go to the movies at least once a week. This is one of the few cases where the subscription is where it’s at. 25 dollars a month gets me three movies a week. I usually only see one but that nearly pays for itself the first week. It’s great!

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.

Wee another subscription service

Would rather stick icicles in my bum

As a plex user with the whole -arr stack, I mirror your sentiment. Though I can’t help but also think that a subscription service like this that actually promotes you to get out of your house and go somewhere exists in a different category.

Like yeah, it’s not another FuckYou+. The process of getting your loved ones together (or soloing it) and going somewhere, sneaking snacks in and viewing a movie in a better set up than you have at home could be worth it. Especially if tickets are somewhat reasonable.

For me personally, I don’t think there are enough new features that I care for but I can see how many may enjoy it

So convenient to go to another website, enter my info, PAY AGAIN, have to sign in every time for my discount…

They know they aren’t fooling anyone this shit should be illegal and they’re killing themselves not just streaming prices…
