ninelives Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's 12.50 up here. Then you add on food. Good lord. I pity the dude that has to take a date out to the movie and has to pay for it. It will come to almost 50 bucks. How much food are you buying to total 50 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If someone I'm with gets a bag of popcorn, I"ll eat some of it, but I never think that I really want it. Just watch out for the old "hole cut in the bottom of the bucket placed on the guy's lap" trick, when you're reaching in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If you go to a lot of movies and are a AAA member, you can buy discounted tickets (sort of in bulk, though). We don't do this because we don't go often enough. If the 5 of us go to a movie it's easily close to $100 with snacks. We go maybe once a year, plus once or twice to the drive-in in the summer (double features). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spats Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 How much food are you buying to total 50 bucks 2 tickets if you have to pay for her and two combos. Each combo comes to around 10 to 12 bucks. Hell a small popcorn costs 5 bucks on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Last time I went to the movies, it cost me under $20 for the ticket, large drink and large popcorn. Sometimes I splurge and get a Dippin' Dots later in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tickets in England cost about 7 squid - unless you have a Student card and then it's around a fiver. There's an independant cinema that I love that only charges £4/5.

Sometimes I splurge and get a Dippin' Dots later in the movie. How long ago was this? 10 years ago????? It's not possible to go to a mainstream theatre today and get a ticket, a large pop and large popcorn for under 20 dollars. Seriously. How much do tickets and food cost each where you go? I do go to a rep theatre and you can see a movie and get a popcorn and drink for around 10 to 12 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The last time I went to the movies was about 2 months ago. My ticket was $6.25, the popcorn was $4.75 and the large Diet Coke was $4.25. $6.25 $4.25 +$4.75 ______ $15.25 Look at that.....under $20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a half price matinee show? Was it famous players? amc? Those are like independant cinema prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really, if that's your attitude about having to shell out some money for a date, don't date and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMooch Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Do those $1.00 cinema's still exist? After a movie had it's initial run, they'd go to these multiplex's that showed them for $1.00, all shows! Come to think of it, I think they went to the wayside when netflicks came out. The instant DVD on demand in one day pushed the $1.00 theaters the way of the telephone booth. Plus I don't believe Fandango would let them list on their site. Then again, those theaters might have met their demise for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 We generally just go for a new Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean; that sort of thing. Everything else we wait for the DVD or HBO. I think the last movie I saw in the theater without kids was Titanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
