Every day I realize what a good investment is was to build a screen into my unused basement room.

Not only that, but then the prices of all the food inside is unreal. I just wait until discounted ticket days at my local theater if I really wanna go see somethin

[–] Nickall@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Funny, inEU we are around 10/11 € per ticket

[–] christophski 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

£6.99 here in London. That's it. No "convenience fee" either.

wow you guys are getting rinsed over there!

for a UK perspective, we have a cinema chain over here called Everyman, it's cinemas but every seat is a sofa/couch! and you can order food to the seats. unless it's a peak screening, you usually get a whole couch to yourself. matinée shows are roughly ~$17 for adult, ~$11 for child. what's pictured in the OP is no doubt one of those pull-down chairs with the itchy carpet material too. ouch!

[–] Netrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I like all the jokes about the fee. I’d say the price before that isn’t convenient either.

[–] KuroJ@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I actually went to a theater a couple of days ago after not going to one for a couple of years and I was shocked at the price. I’d much rather wait until I can just watch it from the comfort of my own home.

Also not worth it when others are talking and using their phone in the theatre.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think in the age of streaming saturation, going to movies still offer an experience for people vs watching Netflix on your couch. It should ultimately be something that's most of all, fun, and exciting.

Nobody should ever feel like they are getting ripped off for the money they paid, even if everything is getting more expensive, and having blatant tagged on fees, or request for tips for things that didn't use to ask for tips, just makes people feel bad that they got cheated out of their money. And that's not fun.

Where the F*** are you paying so much. Even with Canuck-bucks that's like double what it costs here

[–] Pika@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

20$ a ticket whew plus the feel, this is almost as bad as doordash, like dang

[–] ChootchMcGooch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Imagine wanting some popcorn and candy to top it off... streaming from home is the way to go now and they did it to themselves.

It's a shame too, because there are some movies that just benefit from that large form factor viewing. I'd love to go see Oppenheimer on imax but I'll be damned if I have to spend 50 bucks to go watch it alone with some refreshments and snacks.

[–] BeezKnuts@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's a ripoff. I imagine that theater is a lot nicer than the one nearest to me but tickets are usually $12 for an adult and $6 for a child. But on Wednesdays all tickets are $6 regardless of age. They call it date night but you don't have to bring a date. You can even come alone. Or so I've been told ಥ_ಥ

The popcorn isn't even all that expensive either, but the drinks are. I think mostly because drinks are the easiest to sneak in.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AMC has $5 Tuesdays. It's the only day I go to the movies.

You also have to go to a good theater, because a lot of the time you go and the picture is too dim and out of focus, and the sound system isn't balanced properly. That will be $60 dollars.

[–] N00dle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That convenience fee is damn annoying. I usually just try to get the tickets in person.

[–] Lakija@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We go to a chain called Cinemark and the tickets are far cheaper than AMC. I think for 6 people on opening night with heated D-Box seats (the kind that move and shake and vibrate) directly in the middle of the theater cost me $100. Plus I have a membership so free tickets and no fees too.

If we went with regular seats we would have gotten them at around $10 per person. Heated recliners all around.

I feel spoiled honestly.

Here in Italy cinema is priced around 9-10 euros and carnets are often priced 5-6 euros per ticket.

Lol, hell no. Especially when the movie will be streaming in 3 months time. Haven’t been to a theater since Endgame.

You also call COVID “Endgame”?

Our local theater has huge heated leather seats, a fantastic sound system, and you can go to a matinée for $6 with popcorn included. I love Marcus Theaters, they do it right. Good food and drinks, too, delivered to your seat.

[–] 4th_Times_A_Charm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Something tells me this was an imax or dolby theatre. In which case, of course the tickets are more expensive.
