Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.

      A lot of theaters have discount days, on Tuesdays across the 2 states I’ve lived in this year you can see any movie for $7

            and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now, where were we?

      Without concessions, that’s the highest price I’ve ever heard of. It’s half that around here.

        I imagine it will vary based on your location, but I’d venture to guess most major cities like mine would be similar.

        I live in an outskirts suburb of a major city, and @BearOfaTime@lemm.ee suggested price point matches up.

        Checking the current “headlining” movie at my local theater (which happens to be an AMC Theater) to get a single “Adult Ticket” is $21.50 for tomorrow’s Tuesday showing outside of working hours (6:30PM). With “fees”, it brings it to $24.18 for a single adult ticket.

        The “Childrens Ticket” price is $18.50 per.

          that’s fucking insanity. I thought for sure the person who said $50 was including snacks.

        That’s what it costs here. It’s a hunnit if you want concessions.
