Fun fact: in Germany you can get cinema (flatrate!) subscriptions ranging from EUR 226 per year ($264) [1] to EUR 399 per year [2]. While I understand that $10 per month is far too low to cover the costs, it is beyond me how expensive US cinemas are. I paid ~$19 for a cheaper spot in a 2D movie and a small drink at an Oakland cinema. In Berlin that gets you a 3D extra-length movie (3h+), a lot of popcorn and a big drink. There's even a cinema where you have someone going around bringing you stuff, a footstool and guaranteed space around you for EUR 10 ($11) per ticket -- it even includes a glass of sparkling wine.
