Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Yes, I'd be just as happy with that. Um, sorry GD, but that's exactly what all multiplexes have always been doing. Have you paid a different ticket price for that tiny theater of theirs, only slightly bigger than a 1 percenter's home screening room? No, never. Multiplexes have a wide variety of different size theaters, and charge the same price for all of them.

Well, at least, till now. But, as far as I know, only AMC is experimenting with this.


I thought they made all their money off the popcorn anyway. What do theaters care what admission prices are?

So then you're okay with them raising the price for 2D showings and lowering the price for 3D showings so they are the same price and the 2D tickets subsidize the 3D?

I've always considered it BS that you're charged the same for a sh*tty screen as their best.
