I find it astonishing that it's only 13 bucks for a movie ticket over there (around 11 euros). Here in Finland tickets can easily cost over 20e if you see a movie on the weekend.
- excalibur 8y agoThe theater near me charges $9.25 for an evening show, but it's usually worth it to drive 10 miles or so to another one where the same ticket is $5. (Their concessions are considerably cheaper too, which in most places is as big a factor as the ticket price, if not bigger.)
- pesfandiar 8y agoHow much do you pay for an oversized soda drink and a family-sized bag of popcorn for one? I believe the concession stand is a major source of revenue for theatres compared to the ticket price itself.
- applecrazy 8y agoYes. I read on here a while ago that theaters actually don’t receive much revenue from movie tickets, due to the studio negotiating a 60% or so share of ticket sales. So most of the money has to come from expensive concessions.
- bscphil 8y agoHmm, if that were true as it's said to be, you'd think all theater chains would offer cheap subscriptions, since getting people in seats is way more important than maximizing their revenue from ticket sales.

- nothrabannosir 8y agoWow, where and when? Easily £18 (≈ €20.5 ≈ $23) at Odeon London, "on the weekend" as per parent post.
- thom 8y ago£5 per head here in Sheffield for Saturday showings. London ain't right.
- cameronh90 8y agoYou can get that price in London too e.g. at the Peckhamplex. GP probably went to the Odeon flagship cinema in the west end.

- Scoundreller 8y agoMeanwhile, in France, they’ve been doing monthly subscriptions to the movie theatre since... forever for 20 EUR/month. 17 if you’re 26 or under.
