That's ridiculous. I can get recliner seats with tons of arm room and reserved seating for $15 CDN. $12 for a matinee showing.

Where the F*** are you paying so much. Even with Canuck-bucks that's like double what it costs here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

You should find some small local cinemas. Sure screen is smaller, but so is the price and the atmosphere is great.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I actually went to a theater a couple of days ago after not going to one for a couple of years and I was shocked at the price. I’d much rather wait until I can just watch it from the comfort of my own home.

Also not worth it when others are talking and using their phone in the theatre.

Have to hit the matinees. I take my son to a nearby movie theatre that has a full bar/menu and the tickets for he and I to go are around or under $20 for both of us. It's like $9.25 per person.

That convenience fee is damn annoying. I usually just try to get the tickets in person.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Not only that, but then the prices of all the food inside is unreal. I just wait until discounted ticket days at my local theater if I really wanna go see somethin

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Imagine wanting some popcorn and candy to top it off... streaming from home is the way to go now and they did it to themselves.

It's a shame too, because there are some movies that just benefit from that large form factor viewing. I'd love to go see Oppenheimer on imax but I'll be damned if I have to spend 50 bucks to go watch it alone with some refreshments and snacks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Our local theater has huge heated leather seats, a fantastic sound system, and you can go to a matinée for $6 with popcorn included. I love Marcus Theaters, they do it right. Good food and drinks, too, delivered to your seat.

AMC has $5 Tuesdays. It's the only day I go to the movies.

What "convenience" was experienced this visit?

We go to a chain called Cinemark and the tickets are far cheaper than AMC. I think for 6 people on opening night with heated D-Box seats (the kind that move and shake and vibrate) directly in the middle of the theater cost me $100. Plus I have a membership so free tickets and no fees too.

If we went with regular seats we would have gotten them at around $10 per person. Heated recliners all around.

I feel spoiled honestly.

You also have to go to a good theater, because a lot of the time you go and the picture is too dim and out of focus, and the sound system isn't balanced properly. That will be $60 dollars.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Something tells me this was an imax or dolby theatre. In which case, of course the tickets are more expensive.

Here in Italy cinema is priced around 9-10 euros and carnets are often priced 5-6 euros per ticket.

Lol, hell no. Especially when the movie will be streaming in 3 months time. Haven’t been to a theater since Endgame.

I'd rather buy some kind of AAA game.

Really hoping my country doesn't follow suit to this. I can get a seat in a nice cinema with big seats that can become a bed with a push of the button for only 10 usd (which includes free popcorn!). Did you perhaps pay using a Credit Card? From my experience every time I buy stuff online like bus tickets which you usually buy at their booth, I have to pay extra for the "convenience".

The last time I went to a movie was whatever year Once Upon a Time in Hollywood came out. I honestly don't even know where or if a theater is located anymore.

I'm glad my daughter is an adult because we still had the second run dollar theaters when she was little. So... Many... Animated... Movies

I'm about to go completely devoid of simulation. I cut cable in 2009, just cancelled Netflix, will not renew Amazon Prime (there appears to be an all or nothing refund for cancelling mid-year and I'm in the morning category), just left Reddit, deleted Facebook years ago, never had Instagram, Twitter, tic-tac, or any other social media.

The only thing that's still worth anything to me is Spotify, and I won't be surprised if they pull some shitty shenanigans in the near future.

In the UK I feel like we've come out of a huge price hike. Things are relatively affordable now. Now though there's also more cinemas that offer a premium price for a more premium service - IMAX/Dolby Vision, big reclining seats etc that I happily pay more for.

I'll conveniently save the fee by not watching movies in the theatre!
