When was the last time you went to a movie theater?

Recent studies show young men are leading the audience flight away from theaters...

Teenage boys and young men lead disillusioned US movie-goers in staying away from cinemas as ticket prices rise and the quality of home entertainment soars, a new survey showed.

When I was a kid, the movie house was the place to be on Saturdays... Cartoons galore and great movies! All for 25 cents!

I haven't been to a movie theater in over a decade... The price for admission is ridiculous and the snacks are just as ridiculously priced. But I do miss the old days when going to the movies or drive-in didn't cost an arm or a leg. Ahh the memories...

Do you know tho that the theaters make the bulk of their profit not from ticket prices.. that goes to the studios.. they have to make their money on the concessions! It's true..

I believe it... The studios need to lower their asking price... They are over-pricing themselves right out of business. They keep complaining that they're losing money but it's their own darn fault. Start producing quality movie instead of the same formulated material they keep pumping out and they might draw us back in.

It was a month ago I think.. I so remember when I tripped and decided to go to a theater all by myself...I am after the experience and really kinda nice.. Though I felt a bit different bcause I was thinking that people would see me as a weird person coming into the movie house along.. LOL.. I love teh experience and want to try that again

Had to think long and hard about this one,1984 and the movie was "Christine" ya know the car that was posessed :p

 

[dgridley]

True.. more like 30 cents, if that.. fountain drinks have the largest profit margin of any concession item.

2 weeks ago, but I just go 2 or 3 times a year. Prices are getting too high here in Spain too.

 

[martialtiger]

About 1.5 - 2 months ago. Everything is getting expensive: movie tickets, GAS, eating out... :notme:

Watching a movie at home is no match for the BIG screen IMO.. but prices are too high, even matinees.. guess we'll eventually see the demise of these cinemas.

A huge amount of people still go to the movie theaters. Whenever I drive by Regal Cinemas, it's usually packed.

Watching DVD"s at home is good enough for me though.

Last month I think. watched Brothers Grimm all alone...i usually preferred at home watchng DVD.
