    Man. I stopped going to movies when they started showing ads before them. If I pay you, you don’t get to double dip with advertising imo. To see this is ludicrous, and I hope they all fail.

      I’ve never known the movies to not have ads before them and I was born in 1970. How old are you? lol

          Or maybe you just assumed that everyone in the world lives in your country. You know, like the World Series?

      That’s a humorous take, because I’ve known so many people who went to see crappy movies because of the movie previews for something they liked. This was way before the internet took over as a way to see videos, but still, interesting to note the opposite.

        Previews are one thing. I remember the very first time I saw an ad being shown in a movie. People BOOED.

        And rightly so.

        Now it’s considered normal to advertise sugar water and so on…It’s shameful.

    In the UK I feel like we’ve come out of a huge price hike. Things are relatively affordable now. Now though there’s also more cinemas that offer a premium price for a more premium service - IMAX/Dolby Vision, big reclining seats etc that I happily pay more for.

      I use Regal’s subscription service cause Regal is what I have near me. It’s pretty good but I much prefer A-List. Regardless, $20/month and I can see as many movies as I want. If not for that there’s no way I’d be going to the theater for anything.

      Yes, I have AMC’s A-list and I only need to go for 2 movies (or 1 IMAX) a month for it be better value than paying for every individual ticket. One ticket is $16 and the A list membership is $25 a month

    Same thing going on here in Finland. Movie tickets are often 20-25 € for “normal” movies, shit ton of ads to go through and rude customers scrolling Insta or talking through out the movie.

    You can get the A-List subscription or whatever they call it (basically AMC’e version of Movie Pass). Some friends and I do this and we all see a movie usually every Tuesday.

    I like all the jokes about the fee. I’d say the price before that isn’t convenient either.

    That’s a ripoff. I imagine that theater is a lot nicer than the one nearest to me but tickets are usually $12 for an adult and $6 for a child. But on Wednesdays all tickets are $6 regardless of age. They call it date night but you don’t have to bring a date. You can even come alone. Or so I’ve been told ಥ_ಥ

    The popcorn isn’t even all that expensive either, but the drinks are. I think mostly because drinks are the easiest to sneak in.

      “I think op is rage baiting here”. Yes, that’s the point of this sub. Its called mildlyinfuriating for a reason.
