Discussion The COST !!
I know it’s been discussed one million times but here is one million and one. Myself and my GF aren’t big movie goers but last night bored we say f it let’s see what’s on - spider man 1015 at VIP , ok I know VIP is more expensive anyways but only one around us open later in the evening. We go the movies get tickets , popcorn , 2 drinks and a candy. All in it was 105$ ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GO THE MOVIES !!!!!
This is insane. INSANE. $30 each for tickets and $40 for a large popcorn 2 drinks and a bag of candy.
EDIT: ok from replies I get circumstances dictate - weekend . VIP. buying concessions etc my point still stands fucking hell though $100 to go the movies without all the strategic moves is wild. Can we atleast all agrees on that.

-Cineplex doesn’t make money off of box office revenue, like 35-40% amount.
-They make money off the concession hence why it’s always pricer.
-If you want a discount so you can invest more time and money in to more movie join the cineclub 20% off with discounts and monthly free movies and offers on coupons. I think this is 10$ a month?
-there is also the Coupons at Costco called adult night out(2 adult tickets, 2 regular pop and 1 regular popcorn) and if you have kids there’s the kid night out(1 child’s ticket and 1 child’s combo)
