For the longest time, I thought it was something that was going to be true forever. But that response is out of touch from what the general consumer is willing to do with the prices being so high.Īs a movie buff, I get what they’re saying. I hear the complaints about how intellectual property (IP) movies are ruining the business, and down-to-Earth movies will never be able to capture their moment again. I know that grabs the ire of people in the movie business. I used to go to the movies for just about anything, but because it’s so expensive, I save those experiences for films that have a lesser chance of disappointing me. Our theater serves dinner, so my wife and I usually make a whole night of it and spring for the higher end of concessions.īecause of that investment, going to the theater is usually reserved for tentpole movies these days. It’s $25 for the tickets and then another $20 to $40 for concessions, depending on what you get. Going to the movies is a pretty expensive endeavor. I’m only 37 years old, but let me sound like I’m double that age for a moment. It may not be shocking to you, but it is to me. I just went to a movie theater to see a movie for a second time. I just got back home from doing something I’ve never done before.
