You’re missing the point, and I can’t tell if it’s willfull or incidental, but everyone is saying it has become something we only do a few times a year, as opposed to regularly, because of the expense.
Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start
Steve@communick.news 19 hours agoIf it’s only a few times a year (or once every few years), then the expense shouldn’t be worth complaining about. That truly is a special event.

I’m not complaining about the price, but you can definitely complain about the price regardless of how often you go. I don’t go to Disney every year but I can still say it’s overpriced.
I was just saying that if theaters are hurting for customers I understand why. If people are spending $60 just on tickets for a family of four they are probably not going to be going very often. We don’t go very often and we make a whole event out of it and don’t spend much more than the $60. People that buy popcorn and snacks for everyone at their local theater end up spending as much as we do and we get dinner and drinks out of it. Unless there’s a discount running or the theater is a specialty theater like the one I go to they don’t really offer a better experience than you can get at home for the price. The only draw imho is that the movie is new and nowadays things hit streaming pretty shortly after release. Generic theaters just don’t offer enough for the price and the evidence is that they are failing. People loved having movie pass so it seems like there’s still a desire to go, just not at current prices.
