I don't know in the US, but in Spain, cinemas have been closing en masse in the last few years due to unrealistic prices. I still go, but most people I know say paying €8 for a ticket (the same price as one month of Netflix, a 3-course set meal, or four beers in a bar) is just outrageous. Something like this could save cinema here.
- lol768 9y agoThey are expensive (though I find it's usually the refreshments that're marked up the most vs the ticket in the UK), but I'm not so sure on your price comparisons... can you really get a 3 course lunch or 4 pints for ~£8 in Spain? I think you'd be lucky to get one course or 2 pints here for that.
- Al-Khwarizmi 9y agoYou can definitely get a 3 course lunch for €8, which is less than £8. Not in highly touristic places or in the center of Madrid or Barcelona, but I live in a 250K city and there are many places offering simple 3-course meals (salad or entrée + fish or meat + dessert) with that price. And if you go to €9 you can get fancy meals and all. The beer analogy may have been misleading, though. You can indeed get 4 beers for €8, but the standard size of a beer here is 300 ml, which is much less than a pint (568 ml I think).
