        Getting a friend for $100 doesn’t sound too bad. Do you have to give them back at the end of the movie was it more rental agreement?

        I went and saw it for $70 with myself and my three kids, plus popcorn and a drink. Unless you’re in a high cost of living place like New York City or San Fran, it’s not THAT bad. Not great, but not quite that bad.

          In SF, on a matinee, $77 for the 3D IMAX. The movie was mid. If my son didn’t want to see it, I’d have waited for D+

          Edit forgot to say, 2 adults, 2 kids. + Another $20 for Popcorn and an icee for the kids to split

            Well that checks out for San Fran. That city is expensive as fuck. I don’t know how anybody affords to live there, but I’m glad you’re making it work.

      my local threater its 35 dollars for a single adult ticket, popcorn is 22 dollars for a medium, and a soda costs 18 dollars for a medium.

      After taxes your looking at like 85-90 bucks. And heaven HELP you if you want anything else!

        My theater is $7 for a matinee showing of this movie, $16 for an evening showing.

        $10 for unlimited popcorn, $6 for unlimited drink (based on someone uploading the menu, the website doesn’t show prices for food…) Looks to be about $17 for a burger and fries…

        And this is one of the more nicer theaters with the nice seating, tables, and waitstaff…

        It’s a bit pricey, but more like a third of what you are saying your theater does…

        $18 for a medium soda??? My cinema ticket costs €13, popcorn is about €8 and soda might be like 4€ and I am already complaining about the prices.
