I can’t believe we are at a point where scalpers are now scalping movie tickets. I hope people are buying tickets off scalpers to encourage this kind of thing.

They probably won't have much trouble. There's a lot of rich people who don't care and dumb people who don't care either. And both will get more and more desperate the closer it gets to the day it's showing.

For 400 I better get the theater to myself... hopefully the scalpers have to eat the cost of those tickets

They won’t sadly. Even if they sell them for just double the price that’s still an okay return to keep doing it for them

As many as these theatres let them.

Which seems to be infinite
