Going to the theaters...Yay...or...nay

It still only costs $6.00 here to see a movie but when you double for the two of you and add a popcorn and a large drink, you have spent almost $20. For that kind of money we would prefer to go out for a dinner once a week. It just seems so wasteful for us to do this so we just wait till the movie comes out to DVD and make our own popcorn.

Its natural to have all this overpricing. Its evident everywhere. However, to answer your question, I still go to the theater to watch movies, but not regularly as before. I do once in a while, especially if the movie is really much awaited. On some instances though, I just prefer to watch it online since I'd be able to save more. xD

For most of the films that come out these dayas, it isn't worth it to go and see them on a big screen.but I just saw a film that was worth Every penny, we saw it before 12pm on Sunday where the price was 6.00,The Batman movie.It is a classic action film that was great to see on the big and I mean big screen.But most films that I like are dramas and they are just as good on a small screen.

In the past 18 months I have only been to the movies once, as I am currently working in China. In order to see an English movie, it means travelling to Hong Kong, and then paying $80 to simply see a movie. I will actually be returning to Australia later this year, but it's unlikely that I will often see movies there either, as when I left it was $15 to see a movie, and that has likely increased during the time I have been overseas. While there are some movies that are best viewed in a cinema, for the most part I'm happy to wait for them to be released on dvd and watch them at home.

Hi , I too agree . High Ticket prices have reduced the Number of Movies we watch now a days . We feel better in watching these Movies on DVD Player ;a few months after these are released ;and in the comfort of our Homes.

We very rarely go. I am married with two kids (3 and 4). IF we do go, we go to the bargain Cinema for $2 each. You get free drink and popcorn refills when you buy larges. Can't beat that. Better bargain is to buy a Pay-Per-View movie at home, pop popcorn in the microwave, put your PJ's on and snuggle on the floor

The movies that are mostly see nowadays has a lot of special effects and animation. The piece is the movies which he will not get the good experience at home. And that is the reason why I generally prefer to watch the movies in the theatres of I know that the cost of the tickets other rising day by day. But I think I have no other choice but to pay for it. That is the reason why now and is a generally prefer to go for mourning shows because the tickets at that time a cheaper and also there is less clout in the theatres so I can concentrate on the movie rather than using the sounds of others chewing food. That is one big problem which they face a lot of time because he had in Indian people hardly watch the full movie with full concentration. They come there just to have some fun and two-time bus stop for me it is a very serious business. I in learning animation and so when I watch a movie I can actually learning the part and that is the reason why I need to concentrate a lot and so this is the way to do. Theatres will definitely give a better experience to me so that I can understand effects and the camera angles used and I will also understand what in fact that particular angle is given.

$10 is normal where I live. I still think it's worth it. Seeing a movie on the big screen is so much more of a fulfilling experience. I definitely don't want a large TV screen. Those things use bucket loads of electricity.

I love watching movies in the theaters - I love the experience of the big screen and eating the yummy popcorn.

I'm sooo... sorry for coming in so late. I'm also in the same boat in which you are. I also go to theaters very rarely due to the reasons mentioned by you.

I prefer to go to the cinema. I have an unlimited pass that costs £11.99/month (or a bit over $20). I can see as many films as I want using this, so the more often I go, the better value for money it is.

Nothing compares to watching a movie in theater! The ticket prices may be a bit on the expensive side, but there's a huge difference. When I watch a movie on a big screen, I get lost in the story, enchanted by the imagesand the whole atmosphere not only of the movie, but of the place as well. It's magical. Sure, I still watch stuff on my dvd and my computer. BUt it's not the same. Something is missing then.

$10 to watch a movie that cost over $200 million to make. Count me in. In order for those Hollywood guys to make these incredibly awesome movies they need a paying audience. I for one and willing to do my part so long as the good movies keep on coming. Movie theaters actually have to "rent" the reels for the movies essentially betting they will make money on the movie. In the end it's purely economics same as why a fan of an NFL team will pay $500 to take a family of four to a game that last 3 hours. As long as people are willing to pay the price will stay (rhyming not intended). But to answer your question shortly: I have no problem paying $10.
