How much does going to a movie cost where you live?

[wolf_Q]

Just curious. I've heard of places that charge $10+ dollars and I'm happy it hasn't gotten to that yet here!

Theaters here charge about $6-$7.50. Matinees are around $4-$5. The dollar theaters are $1.50 but the two closest each have a cheap night, one charges $.50 and the other $.75. I love 50 cent movie night. It's a pretty nice theater too for that price.

Renting a new release movie is about $4. There's that McDonald's redbox thing for $1 but I haven't tried it yet, Blockbuster/Hollywood video is closer.

On weekends..it's 10 bucks...any other day it's 7-7.50 I think

it's about the same here as where you are. i'm in columbia, south carolina...i do try to go to a matinee, though, and, those are about $5.50. or sometimes they'll let me in as a student (same price as matinee)...even though i never went to college and i'm 29. sometimes it's a good thing looking like i'm not even old enough to legally drink. Snacks are crazy, though, that's where they make all their profits. It's insane. But, one of the theaters I go to, just started doing free refills, so, that'll help a lot!

I think it's $11 for a movie here, $5.50 for a matinee. I rarely go to the movies at night unless it's for something really good that I have to see the day it comes out on a midnight showing. Like lord of the rings, star wars or harry potter. I go to the drive in a lot, two movies for $5.

Going to see a movie is 9 dollars; renting a movie is 4.2 dollars.

It's $7.50 here. I think there is one night during the week where tickets are like $4.50, but it's like a Tuesday night so we never go then.

I think going to the movie is about 5 euros, which works out to about 7 or 8 USD, not too bad if you ask me! I love going to the cinema and hunkering down with a big box of popcorn!

[binka_nugget]

For the nice theatres (where you can see the screen no matter how tall the person in front of you is ), it's $10.95 (all the time). A couple of the independant ones are about $5-7.

[k9krazee]

Here a matinee is usually $5-$5.50 and normally $6-$7 bucks.

Renting a movie is around $3 dollars.

It is about $9 australian to go anytime here. Renting movies anything from $1 - $7.

We never go. Really. I don't sit still well, so it has to be a pretty big deal for us to go! I think it is $7 or $8, but I'm not even sure.

I think it is 7.95 here for adults, children it is $5 and seniors it is $5.50. To rent a movie it is anywhere from $2-$5.

[Husky_mom]

Back home in Smiths Falls from mon-thur it was $2.00cdn for everyone. Fri-sun it was $6.50cdn for adult & $4.75cdn for child & senior.

In the city its $10.00cdn for adults everyday

I remember the days when it was $5... so long ago...

The Celebration Cinema in Lansing charges:

$5.50 for a matinee
$8 for evening shows
$6 for child/senior/student
and $12 for Imax.

The AMC close to Andy charges:

$7 for a matinee
$9 for evening shows
and $12 for Imax

I believe $7 is the student/senior discount.

When I took Andy to see Corpse Bride and I was told $14 for a matinee, I about crapped my pants.

Movie prices are why we rarely go to the show anymore. In a few years time, people will have to take out a second mortgage just to enjoy a night out. O_o
