"ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER TICKET!!"

...for matinee only, prices may be subject to change before card is charged, we reserve the right to refuse you entry to the theatre itself, no refunds.

I saw Doctor Strange at like noon in 3D LIEMAX, tickets were around $13, not bad, regular price is $16, $10.50 is the standard adult ticket for a normal theater showing in my area.

[–]PM_ME_YARR_BOOBS 21ポイント22ポイント  (6子コメント)

Just depends on what city you are. 15.95 for regular ticket. 3D lieMAX is $21.95, plus $1.50 ticketing fee online if you don't have the stubs program

The stubs program which how now been turned into a "frequent flyer' mile program instead of what used to be cool, where they have "priority" lines at theaters for the concession stand if you are the premium stubs member.

Yeah AMC can fuck off.

NYC?

[–]PM_ME_YARR_BOOBS 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

Los Angeles. So it's not exactly the normal, but us big cities really suck with our movie prices. And they rise fast as hell. AMC tickets have jumped more than $1 in the last year.

[–]homeboi808 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, I think NYC is worse, I heard $25 was the average for a normal adult ticket.

[–]sonofaresiii 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

$15 for normal 2d ticket. No idea where you're getting $25 from, maybe 3d imax... Maybe.

E: just checked, the only real imax in the city is only showing 2d right now but it is indeed $25. I'm a bit surprised, that must have been a big increase within the last year.

If you look at the fake-imax's though, even 3d, they're only $22

[–]sonofaresiii 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

AMC does discounted tickets before noon, which is probably what happened with the above poster

[–]PM_ME_YARR_BOOBS 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh definiitely. Hell even in LA if you got before noon it's not too bad it's like $9.

[–]adammjones12 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Where I go to college we have a crappy little movie theater but I can't complain with the price of a movie costing only $5.50 for noon tickets.

[–]5quirtle 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

This makes me miss the theatre by my house growing up. They'd only have like 4 movies at a time and 2 screens, but it was 4.50 for adult matinees and always 4.50 for students and seniors, and only 6.50 for normal admission. 4.50 plus free popcorn on Tuesdays, had lots of marathons and free movies on kids days off school. Line was always out the door. It was around $10 for a movie any time except Tuesday at the big theatres when it closed.

[–]homeboi808 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Is that with a student discount, or just general matinee?

[–]adammjones12 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

General matinee, it's like 7 something for regular prices.

[–]UnderEquipped 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Those are some cheap tickets jesus. Where I live tickets are $25 for normal $30 plus for bigscreen/3d/luxury seats...

[–]homeboi808 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

NYC? $10-$12 for a normal adult ticket is a pretty normal price across the country. According to my quick Google skills, the average ticket is between $8.40-$9.00, but I don't know if that is combined with matinee and student/children/seniors citizen discounts, if it is, then my $10-$12 would be the national average.

I'm in a decently developed area too, so I'm not in the country or anything. Almost all my local theaters have stepped their game up as well, many offering premium beer at the concession stand, more professional staff, nicer premium auditoriums (like Regals' electronic leather recliners, it's not HDR though, which is a bummer).

What only some auditoriums have are separate armrests, I can't believe I pay for LieIMAX (or my local 70mm IMAX) or something like RPX w/Dolby Atmos and I still have to share armrests with someone.

I also hate that all the theaters that do assigned seating use Fandango, which is like an extra $2 a ticket or something like that. But I have to use it because one theater by me is in a mall, the line to get tickets on Fri-Sun is a 10min-15min wait, the line to get your ticket ripped is another 5min, and even the concession is like 7min (even though they have two floors with a concession on each, the top is never used), so I pay they extra fee per person for insurance and to skip that stupid wait time to get your tickets.

I live in Auckland, Nz. We have a thing here called la premier which is nice lazy boy seats and you can get like a main meal and desert brought out to you. Last time I went there for The Force Awakens it cost my $81 just for me, I got the sliders meal and donuts covered in ice cream plus one beer. It's expensive af.

[–]homeboi808 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I have theaters by me that have auditoriums with full/partial seating with food service. I just looked up the one by me, it's $12 for an adult ticket to the 11pm showing of Fantastic Beats in 3D and they have a half-rack of ribs for $14 and burgers from $10-$12, thats pretty cheap.

Also, $25 NZD = $17.50 USD, and $81 NZD = $56.71 USD, so that brings it much closer.

There is one theater near my house where normal tickets are $6.00. Matinee tickets are only $4. It's amazing, the only theater I go to

[–]Titiy_Swag 49ポイント50ポイント  (11子コメント)

AMC has some nice theaters, but jesus, at least at my local AMC, ticket prices are like $15 each, literally double the cost of a local theater.

I think it's worth it. It kind of raised the bar on movie going for me. I can go to the movies, get a beer, recline all the way back in my seat which has an armrest that pulls up and is coincidently perfect for cuddling with a date.

I think it depends on what city you are on. In some cities AMC did do that. In other cities AMC just finally got to the bar that was set by all the theaters that were already doing that.

To be fair they built it from the ground up so it wasn't a renovation project.

[–]Anon_Logic 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

None of that is unique to them. And somewhere between double to triple the cost of other theaters just isn't worth it. And if you want to drink, got to a pub afterwards.

So, you'd willingly pay extra just for brand name? If you want to, I'm not going to stop you. I'm just making sure it's clear, that you're willing to pay a premium because a thing has a brand associated with it even if there's a equal product/service.

Man showplace just replaced the shitty chairs with comfortable leather sofas. It's got a button that brings out the leg rest and lowers the back so your almost laying in bed. It's super nice and a ticket only costs 7 dollars. I go every week now unless nothing interesting is coming out.

[–]bald_and_nerdy 57ポイント58ポイント  (20子コメント)

So not enough people are going for the upsale tickets (imax, 3d) so they want to charge more? Who decides what a blockbuster is before release? Movie studios are sinking series left and right to make a quick buck.

[–]Adonej 29ポイント30ポイント  (8子コメント)

It's the same thing that happened to AAA game titles after "pre-order" became a thing.

[–]bald_and_nerdy 2ポイント3ポイント  (7子コメント)

I've never been to a good 3d movie and IMAX just feels like I have to sit farther back. I always go when it's cheapest, so early bird specials for catching the first showing of the day and Tuesday discount days. So I don't really care what they do with movie ticket prices.

I thought the same thing so I saw it again in 3d and was utterly disappointed. There were only one or two 3d effects the rest of the time it felt like 2d with ugly glasses.

"hurr durr its a blockbuster u have to pay a premium" > go anyways only 3 people in the entire theater.

[–]bald_and_nerdy 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

Exactly. I assume this blockbuster premium will be for the entire time the movie is in theaters. Isn't "blockbuster" based on how much it brings in? If so wouldn't this make the movie theaters decide what is and isn't a blockbuster?

I feel like ticket prices should decrease for movies that have been in the theater for a while. I went and saw Dr. Strange again this weekend, same ticket price as opening day but only 5 people in the theater.

[–]proquo 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Certain movies you just know are going to bring in crowds. When I worked at a movie theater Avengers and other Marvel movies sold out at least once a day for the two months they were in theaters. Those people would pay to see no matter the price.

[–]Nick12506 -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Wrong, most of that crowd understands how to pirate and would pirate if they charged a lot.

[–]helpfulkorn 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

So I pirate the movies and see them in theaters. I see them I theaters to support comic book movies after growing up in a world devoid of good ones and also because most of them look best on the big screen. But then I generally go home and immediately download the movie so I can rewatch my favorite parts.

They would have to charge more than $20 a ticket before I'd stop seeing all movies in theaters.

[–]Nick12506 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your comment doesn't make sense for a pirate.. If you pirate a movie then go see it in theaters or either way then you'd know that the quality that you're able to pirate is far below the standards normally given that the 1080p pirate quality wouldn't be out yet unless shit went down internally. I doubt you're up to pirate a cam rip after seeing a movie in the theater..

I like that you're attempting to support something that we enjoy but the issue is you're paying the theater and all the little middle men more then the people who produced the movie. If you're interested in supporting the cause donate directly and in your donation note state that you'll be pirating the release but would like to thank them for the hard work they've done.

If they actually discounted smaller films to drive up attendance that would be smart. Can't see them doing that though.

[–]TheRealGunn 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Right, but they could cheat and get that effect.

Instead of this headline, they could raise all ticket prices, which would suck but get less press, then drop the prices on smaller films and score positive press.

[–]spidereater 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't know. The amc near me used to have a very lax ticketing process that almost encouraged theatre hoping. I think their business plan was to make their money on concessions which you are more likely to buy if you see multiple movies. Cheaper tickets to drive attendance is actually a less extreme version of this model.

[–]on2usocom 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I actually like to see multiple movies at a time. I'll buy 2 tickets if it's a good deal. Then they get me for a large popcorn, large drink, games while I wait, and possibly food. Just saw Dr. Strange and The Arrival for 18 bucks in a very comfortable, large seat. I fucking love Santikos!.

"AMC announces chapter 11 bankruptcy"

[–]Samuelgin 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

considering I can wait 4 months and own the movie for $20 (or even less) instead of paying $13 to see it in person, that's how you get people to never see movies in theaters again.

[–]jesus_christ_FENTON 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's the same as the stupid delayed release dates for cinema releases and home media. If they can release it in one country on such a date surely it is ready to be released on that date in the rest of the world. It's not like they are having to duplicate entire reels of film anymore.

[–]ffejbos 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd literally just drive the extra few miles to a theater that isn't AMC if this ever happens.

[–]See_Bee9 15ポイント16ポイント  (6子コメント)

Why should low-budget indie films cost the same to watch as big-budget studio films? If prices were more fluid, it seems like it would actually benefit the smaller films. Since now the small films have to compete with the big budget films at the same price point.

[–]minnick27 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

But now you have theatres saying they don't want your low budget movie because it doesn't make as much

[–]See_Bee9 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

They might make more money at a lower price point. If you can sell twice as many tickets by cutting the price by 20%, you come out ahead. Sure the big budget movies will get three or four theaters with more showings, but that is already the case.

[–]smegmamuncher 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Theaters make virtually nothing off of the ticket sale. They make their money on concessions. The more people who walk through their doors, the more money they make.

[–]minnick27 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

More people are going to the blockbusters, that's why they are blockbusters. If you have a sold out showing of Star Wars and a half empty theater of something else odds are they would have done better to book 2 theaters of Star Wars.

[–]smegmamuncher 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Modern megaplexes have 20+ screens. They can have 5 showings of star wars and still have more capacity. If a half priced Alvin and the Chipmunks puts more butts in seats, that's still more money for them.

[–]opopkl 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That seems to happen already. If you want to see Fantastic Beasts you've got about 24 opportunities per day within a 5 mile radius. If you want to see a highly acclaimed Ken Loach film, you have one opportunity in the next month.

[–]ThrowAwayForPancakes 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm just sick and tired of paying money for shitty movies.

Marketing seems to be their only focus these days.. it's apparently not enough to make a decent movie that turns a profit. Oh no.. need to make sure you bring in 500% profit or just fuck right off.

After paying to see several movies this year that were just complete and utter disappointments I just gave up and waited on decent copies to start floating around on the net. Even then, half of what I watched was a waste of time and I never even paid for it. I usually watch a movie or two a week with my fiancee.. we get pizza, cuddle in bed and watch whatever I've got. If after that I consider my time wasted you seriously fucked up.

And more and more I'm seeing movies where half the scenes were clearly crafted just so they could be put into trailers. I deliberately don't watch trailers because I don't like the spoilers they always contain, but I've started checking them out after the fact and dear god, most of the plot is in the fucking trailers!

Suicide squad is a perfect example.. god what a disappointing film. I actually went and paid for that one, sure that it would be worth my money. I wanted to leave halfway through. The new Independence Day? I intended to hit up the cinema but never got time.. thank god for that, yet another movie I was sure would be great that had me looking for the exit less than half way through.

Anyway. This is just a long and pointless rant, but I am seriously tired of the movie industry. On the bright side they don't need to worry about me pirating their stuff! So few good movies have even come out that I've just given up on them altogether and watch old TV shows instead.

[–]Scout_022 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Are there areas where AMC is the only theater around? I have near me a Cinemark, United artists, Regal, iPic, Arclight, and a handfull of independent theaters like the Charles.

so yeah, go ahead and charge more for different movies I'll just go elsewhere.

[–]Kinggod13 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm in Chattanooga and right now it's mostly just Carmike outside of a Regal that just got renovated and up until recently has shown old movies for $3. AMC bought Carmike recently so soon enough all we'll really have is AMC.

Historically, there were two kinds of movies: the ones you would see because going to the movies was what you did and the big important ones. Event movies cost the moviegoer more because they cost more to make. Plus, they were art, unlike the normal drivel they would put out week to week. But that was fine. The standard movies weren't bad, but since we didn't have TV, these movies filled that solidly middle-brow niche.

The Godfather changed all that.

They charged the standard rate for one of the greatest movies to ever be released, because this was an event movie for everyone. Needless to say, it went like gangbusters.

Since then, it was a bit nuts to do anything else, since if your movie wasn't as good as The Godfather, why on earth should I pay more to see it? Standard pricing has been the norm since the early 70's.

So now we have movies that people just have to see priced the same as movies that are quite good, if not as hyped. What do you think people are going to go see? If the pricing variation encourages more people to go see smaller movies, then maybe we can beak the cycle of "People Only Watch Blockbusters," and open the market for projects that don't have a franchise label on them.

For instance, if Arrival had been $2 cheeper then Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, then maybe I could have made the case to my GF to give that particular mess a miss and encouraged people to make sure a movie is good before releasing it, rather then saying "Well, it's passable and from a good franchise" and shoving it out the door.

[–]EltaninDraconis 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dynamic price scaling. Airlines do it. Why don't theaters?

The movie is about to start, but the seats aren't full? Charge less.

It's opening night, and the movie is selling out? Charge more.

You don't like that price? Well, you can roll the dice wait to see if the price goes down. Or you can try buying your tickets online for another day. Or you can pay what it's worth to see it right now. It's up to you.

This will most likely affect nothing. People don't usually regularly go to the movies anymore.

[–]Purgatory_Dog 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I predict that this will have an overall positive affect on the film industry. Event screenings (block buster series like star wars or mcu) will have attendance anyway. People go to maybe three tentpoles a year. For many many people, it's not a question of if they will see Dr. Strange (etc), but if they'll go opening night or not. Likely, this will encourage going to non-blockbuster pictures as a seemingly cheaper way to have a good time (in addition to the big budget shows). I guess time will tell.

[–]helpfulkorn 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Eh, AMC has me for as long as their theaters have individual reclining leather lazy boys and snack delivery to your seats. I already drive 30 minutes just to go to their theaters instead of the one down the street. Plus we joined their discount club so we get cheaper tickets and food.

[–]icarus-_-sky 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

This would make sense if they adjusted prices accordingly, but we all know they won't do that; they'll keep their standard tickets at $16/each and up the blockbuster tickets to probably $22/each.

So entitled it's sad.

[–]zveroshka 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pirating wouldn't even be the biggest factor in losing money. People willing to pirate movies are already doing it anyways. It will, however, make people think a lot harder if a movie is worth seeing in theaters.

I've already started doing that because a general movie going experience has become so expensive. So this just means me and many other movie goers are going to wait for even more movies to release to blu-ray/dvd and rent rather than spend my money at movie theaters.

That's not what is happening though. Blockbusters already make more than low quality movies if they are good because more people watch them. Blockbusters being universally more expensive means even the shitty ones will make more which is useless.

[–]meateoryears -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

Wait. You're complaining about movie theater prices. So you're going to pirate them, and watch them in your own home? I don't understand. Why complain about the theater prices?

[–]Sparcrypt 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

People will pay for something if it's reasonable and good value. That's the entire reason Netflix succeeded - people were willing to pay instead of pirate.

Currently theatres have the "see it first" and "the big screen" aspect. But more and more people have AV setups at home as good as a cinema, or good enough that the added comfort of being at home makes it better anyway.

So if your home has just a good experience and you can get high quality rips of movies for nothing? Now the only reason you're paying is because you get to see it first and because, like I said, most people will happily pay for a product if the price is fair. But when the theatres start charging more and more for tickets you find yourself just going "nope, fuck that" and watching them at home for free.

[–]meateoryears 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's exactly what I'm trying to say. If the theaters are raising prices, so that you don't want to go to the sticky floor theater with kids chomping on popcorn behind you, just watch it at home.
