Poll: How much does it cost to see a movie where you live?

[dmjewelle]

New movies premiere at about RM12 ($4), then go down to about RM10 ($3). Cheap movie day tickets are about RM7 ($2), 3D movies are about RM15 ($5). It sounds cheap, but dollar-to-dollar comparison it comes to the average price.

I definitely think I get good value for money - a friend of mine and I usually go to our nearest IMAX cinema (less than an hour away) and we get one hell of a good deal.

A normal visit to that IMAX cinema would cost something like:
Car parking: £4 - £5
Tickets: £12 - £14 each

However, we get in significantly cheaper. My friend is registered disabled. He's in a wheelchair and has no use of his legs. As such he can get a special concession from the people at the IMAX:
Parking: Free
Ticket for my friend: Half price
Ticket for me (his able bodied assistant): Free.
Plus we get upgraded to the best seats in the house for free, as they are the only wheel-chair accesable seats in the place.

We split the costs fifty/fifty so I pay about £3 - £4 to go to an IMAX cinema

For my girlfriend and I to go without seeing a 3d film or any extras your looking at £7 each.

 

[llamastorm.games]

£5.35 ($8) for an afternoon ticket
£7.20 ($10) for an evening ticket
Between £9 ($13.50) and £11 ($16.50) for 3D
Monsters VS Aliens was £9 but Ice Age 3 was £11
However the cinema is a Cineworld Delux so it is beyond luxurious, came in the top 5 of the top 5 cinemas in the UK.

Regardless of price however, go on a wednesday and get Orange Wednesdays

I'm from Puerto Rico movies here are minimum of 5.75 most expensive 6.75 and 3D minimum 7.00 max 9.00.

 

[Flamezdudes]

£5 over here in England and then ofcourse all the movie food is a lot of money in the cinema's themselves so it comes to about £10 or more anyway if I buy food. I usually get chocolate, drinks and sweets outside of the cinema beforehand though. But I gotta get popcorn at the cinema...

 

[Jonluw]

Last movie I watched cost me 120 NOK, which is ca. $20.38

Edit: And I had to pay $4 for 3D-glasses as well.
What the hell is up with cinema being so cheap everywhere else?
Hell, in the cinema store, a bag of skittles'll cost me nearly $5.50.

$10AUD with membership. Membership pays itself off by the discounts it gives after only a few movies.

1.00 AUD = 1.02385 USD

 

[GodofDisaster]

The prices are about £5 for an adult and £3 for a child. Although for me it's £4 thanks to student discount. Also on Tuesdays all tickets are £3, £2 for me because of the student discount.

Living in NYC it would come to around $10.50 around the bouroughs and $15 in the city (Manhattan). I havn't gone to a 3-d film but I believe it would be around $15 in the bouroughs and $18 in the city don't hold me on that. Then you have Imax which cost more which can go from $20 to $25 depending on how upscale the theatre is. So yea I only saw an Imax movie once can't say I would want to do that all the time not now with my paltry sum anyway.

8.50 normal, 10 3d, 7 for a manatee. however, there is a theatre that shows movies for 3 dollars anytime. but they are usually ones that are out of normal theatres but not in dvd yet.

 

[CroutonsOfDeath]

Here, they used to be nice at 6.50, 4.50 if you got the Early Bird.

Now they are 12.50! When I went to see a 3D movie, it was 14.50! Bwargh.

 

[Owlslayer]

It's roughly 5.5$ for 3D movies(till 18.00 i think) 4.6$ for a non-3D one.
I don't really complain.

 

[Broady Brio]

£4 something for a 2-D film.

£6 something for a 3-D film.

Absolutely free for me as my brother works for the cinema I go to.

 

[Acidwell]

Its so expensive i never really go, along with the fact that i hate the cinema floors and overpriced popcorn doesnt help

 

[Lucane]

6-16 dollors depending on when you go and what format your viewing but current price for 1 adult going to a standard 2d ticket at the highest price is $10

 

[Wolfenbarg]

I think the local theater is 9.50. The nicest one in town is closer to 13. Luckily though, we have a dollar theater where we can see movies that are about to come out on DVD dirt cheap. They still overcharge for drinks of course, but there's a dollar store next door...

 

[Hyper-space]

Well, on Tuesdays and the earliest showing times its 4.34$, but normally its around 9.54$.

Mind you these are the numbers of ALL Icelandic movie theaters, seeing as the quality is the same.

 

[Thyunda]

Something like £6.20 for an adult ticket here. I don't know for certain, my friend usually gets tickets free somehow. I don't know what £6.20 English pounds is in American dollars. So I abstain from voting till I know.
