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.

winner.

i have a wife and 3 children and can easily drop nearly $50 just on tickets.

add in another $30 for drinks & popcorn (and thats assuming we're all sharing a single popcorn) and you're approaching a ridiculous amount of money just for a 2 hour movie.

more and more its 'my wife and daughters' go to a movie or 'me and my son' go to a movie.

if its the whole family, we watch netflix on our kick-arse surround system & spend $3 on orville redenbocker.

eta and we can pause the movie for bathroom breaks.

Exactly. The local AMC theater charges about $12 a ticket for their evening films. Let's say I have a family consisting of a wife and two kids. Before I'm even at the concession stand, I've already spend $48 on tickets. And that's without tax. So the average joe pays over $50 for tickets with a family of four around here. Once you include the price of concessions it could be an $80 trip just to watch a 90-minute animated film. That's absurd.

I go to weekday movies, 98% of the distractions are gone. I love when I have the theater to myself!

That being said, I only sat GotG this summer, I might go check out TMNT after class one day in Lafayette but only if I have nothing better to do.
