I don’t think I’ve been to a theater in 6+ years. $20+ for a single ticket, $15 for $.30 of popcorn+mystery chems, and another $15 for $.20 worth of a drink all while they pay high school children $7/hr. So that’s $50 for me to sit in a dirty chair surrounded by assholes on their phones and running their mouths? I don’t think that’s something I’d like to pay for.
Where I usually go, tickets are 12 and popcorn is maybe 8. Not sure about drinks as I never get them. But then again, I go to a smaller chain. The kids definitely get paid at least $14/hr though

I agree with the sentiment that theaters have become to expensive but the hyperbole on the popcorn and drinks is a biiiit much lol
Where I live it’s $12 for $.30 worth of popcorn and $8 for $.20 worth of soda. The high school kids still get paid $7.25 though.

That’s literally what it cost last time I went, lol. I thought to myself, why did I just pay $50 for this?
I go to the theater perhaps once a year.
Given the costs, I go to Alamo. At least for the money I don’t get rude assholes around me, I can drink a beer and have a burger.
Yep, costs more. But it’s a much better experience.
