minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink25•24 hours agoBack when theater admission was the price of a single coin… But don’t let that distort things, because money was a lot more valuable back then. According to this https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1935?amount=1 A USD$1 in 1935 was worth about $23.15 in purchasing power today. This site says that a quarter, $0.25, was the price of a movie ticket in 1935 https://www.davemanuel.com/whatitcost.php Let’s say Sluggo is paying a quarter/$0.25 for admission in 1935, that would be around $5.79 today, or $4.36 depending on what metric you believe. Let’s say Sluggo is a child, and paying child admission to a matinee. That’s currently $13.78 on AMC’s website today.
