Those prices are wild, but what the hell is a convenience fee? Is that just some bull that they've come up with to charge more?

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 $15 for both of us. $7.25 for me and I think $5 for him.

This makes me grateful for my local non-profit theater :)

Where was that? I just went to the movies for the first time in years, and bought 5 adult "premium seating" tickets for CAD$91.80, taxes in.

$16.25 each

Pricing for the large scale theatre chains in Canada is similarly brutal.

The only movies I go to now are at the local independent cinema. Cheaper per ticket, membership that gets you access to two free members-only mystery screenings a month, the building itself is fucking gorgeous and I swear they grease their popcorn machine with crack.

Went a long time pretty much swearing off theatres entirely, but COVID gave me a bit of a "You need to support nice things that you want to keep existing" shake, so I'm happy to toss them a couple of bucks for the experience once and a while.

I'm also not the biggest fan of the whole required reservations thing either. It makes spontaneous movie nights with friends a massive hassle. You have to have a designated ticket buyer now, or somehow perfectly coordinate your online buying times to ensure you get seats together.

Holy fucking shit balls.

And all that money spent just to sit in a room with many people looking at their bright phones, talking to eachother, chewing loudly and causing a mess.

No, thanks.

Looks like a pretty standard Friday night ticket for NY or Chicago

A subscription to save? Say it ain't so?!!!!! Assholes

[–] Wayren@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I won't pay that. Simple as that. That's a crazy total.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Cheaper to wait for streaming or Blu Ray. Bonus for Blu Ray - you actually own something.

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For a family of 4 which includes 2 adults and 2 children, we’re looking at $100 for tickets and snacks easily. It’s crazy how expensive going to the movies have become. That said, I really like recliner seats + Dolby Atmos without having to worry about “getting the best seats”, so some of the hike is a little more digestible. Movie theater snacks though, now that’s highway robbery.

[–] Xeraga@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Went to an AMC theater recently after not going to one for years. I waited through about 30 minutes of forced ads before the movie started. The "shut off your cell phone warning" was about 10-15 min early. Guess I'm prepared to show up later than the advertised times in the future and skip it, but can't say I want to go back.

As a kid, going to the movies on the weekend was a regular event. Nowadays as a dad with a family, it's a luxury.

[–] EnderWi99in@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That's crazy! I just paid $18 for IMAX tickets to Oppenheimer. Regular screen is like $11 here.
