After 23 years of film criticism, I was back in front of the screen as a civilian. I had no idea what I would find. --by former NY Times film critic A.O. Scott
Where did you get the 100 dollars from? Checked on Fandango, an adult ticket to a new release costs ~15 dollars in LA right now, which I think is pretty reasonable.
A regular theater you’re looking at 30 for two tickets + what, another 20-30 for drinks and popcorn. Candy will push you over 70. An average persons full day of pay after tax. 100 is a stretch in that instance. Take into account the closest 3 theaters to me are all nicer theaters with real food drinks and wait staff, it’s impossible to come out of there for under 100
Just don’t buy food? It justs degrades experience for you and other people.
I’d argue the food and snacks is part of the experience. Sitting in a dark room for 2-3 hours with no food or drink after paying 30 dollars just to get in makes no sense to me. Then again paying that much for a 1 time viewing of a movie doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I just value money differently.
