take the kids to matinees. If you can take them on a weekday, it's a lot cheaper.
I will also sneak in candy. I'm not paying $4 for a king sized M&M I will pay $5.25 for a coke.
Saw a lot of movies this summer.
Godzilla
22 Jump Street
Edge of Tomorrow
X-Men
Sin City 2
Transformers 4
Guardians of the Galaxy
Winter Soldier
Ghosbusters
Neighbors
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Maleficent

While I'm glad that we might see some Hollywood reform, it is a shame it is this crop of movies that did it. I don't get to the theater as much because I have a two-year old, but I think this year's crop of films was much much better than last year's. And some of the original ideas like Edge of Tomorrow were profoundly ignored by moviegoers.
I don't think moviegoers are rejecting comic book movies, as much as you may want them to, they are rejecting outrageous concession prices and a theater experience that is not much better than watching at home. The only theater I go to now is Alamo or Studio Movie Grill. I've abandoned the classic movie theater.

Yeah I usually do the afternoon matinee with the kids while the wife shops or something, if there's a movie they're dying to see. Matinee is still around $8-$10 a ticket at our theater though. So if I take both kids, we're still talking $30 before we even hit the concession stand. Our theater does have a decent deal though where you can buy a big refillable tub for popcorn, and it's only $5 to fill each time you come, or something like that.
As for the experience, I still prefer the theater to watching at home. Blame it on my ADD, but I have a hard time watching at home because there are too many distractions.

Well and it's gotten to the point with the cost of movie tickets and concessions that enough people are willing to say if it's a dud then I'm not going to throw cash at it.
This is the reason
When I as a dad can spend $70-80 bucks to take my family of 4 to the movies and get popcorn and a drink or can go to redbox or on demand and watch in my theater room for $5?
Which do you think I choose? Movies are coming to on demand and redbox sooner and sooner because of this. I can wait the 2-3 months
