The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

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).
Holy moly.
I'm in a medium town with one theater and the same three tickets are about half that.
And it's not a second run theater either. Same premiers as the big chains, just fewer screens. And no upcharge for 3D.
Damn, I live in one of the most expensive cities in the US, and they don't charge that much here.
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.
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.

We have some cinemas around here that offer an unlimited option. For a set monthly fee, you can go to the cinema as much as you want. Obviously you have to pay for all the extras (3D, popcorn and stuff). I have one and I go to the movies like 3 times a month on average.
Yeah AMC the one in the picture has a plan where you get 3 movies a week for like $25/month

Same thing going on here in Finland. Movie tickets are often 20-25 € for "normal" movies, shit ton of ads to go through and rude customers scrolling Insta or talking through out the movie.
