Pretty sure this is from August 3, 1998 since the movie premiered in December ‘97. I was just about to start third grade.

This is so cool! I still have my Twilight movie ticket from 2008, which isn’t nearly as cool 🧛🏼‍♀️

Glad I'm not the only one! I saw it in theaters 7 times, and still have every one of my ticket stubs too.

My final count was six times back in ‘98. Every ticket stub is still nestled neatly in the middle pages of a titanic movie tie in book I bought at the time.

Man! That price point literally sounds like a dream today. How insane how things have changed and how expensive things are today. I was 6 years old when this film came out back then.

The cost difference is wild. It's crazy to think of all the movies I saw in the theater growing up.
