  Half of America lives in places like Monroe, Iowa.

    I just checked for a general admission ticket in Monroe, Iowa and it was $10.60 ... I guess if you include morning, kid and senior prices, the average is probably pretty low.

      I am willing to bet that theater has a monopoly with no substitute goods. Rural != Cheap The lowest prices are probably in suburban areas where there are many competing theaters in a populated area with easy access.

        My suburban hometown still has $4-5 tickets everyday. ~200k population with quite a few theaters around.
