THE LITTLE MERMAID WEEKEND THREAD

[harrisonisdead]

Jeez I feel lucky that I still have a theater near me that does $7 matinees and $5 Tuesdays. I expected them to raise their price more when they upgraded to recliners like four years ago, but somehow that never happened.

 

I do miss the halcyon days of unlimited MoviePass, though...

And I sincerely feel sorry for parents.

Ticket prices in Europe are a lot cheaper for kids. Helps that they focus on admission reporting than just gross. Kids film have crazy admits.

It's back as of last weekend, at a MUCH higher price point and focused on Indy theaters showing Indy movies...which is probably what is always should have been...

 

We should see some improvement in the specialty market going forward this summer with it back...or we'll find the price is still just too high to bring in folks who changed habits...

I saw The Little Mermaid, and, I fucking loved it. ❤️

 

Halle was incredible, and, I hope all racists choke and cease to exist!

I have to pay $25 AUD for a ticket.

[Issac Newton]

For me -

 

¥2500 for IMAX ~ $17.9

¥3100 for 4D ~ $22.2

¥2100 for Dolby ~ $15

 

Will be ¥100 ($0.72) extra from this month

Why do you keep telling people to choke? Racists are bad, sure, but let's educate them

4D is absolutely not worth that mark up

[charlie Jatinder]

I think the highest I have paid for a movie ticket is ₹450 for Zero (2018)

 

Other than that its usually ₹200-250 ($2.5-3). Purchase Power Parity adjusted that’s like $20-25. There is no premium format near me so its just 2D & 3D.

Why do y’all keep coddling racists and not the victims of racism? Educate the racists that’s nice, well what about Halle who has been tormented online by those racist for the past three years? She even spoke about how hurt she’s been with the backlash and attacks that she’s received online.

My usual preference is IMAX. Something Dolby but tried 4D only for Demon Slayer once (⁠ﾉ⁠≧⁠∇⁠≦⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠ ⁠ﾐ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

When has being Violent back ever made anything better. I'm not saying what they've done isn't abhorrent, it's fucking awful. But saying you want to choke people, harm people, that doesn't make anything better. There's more proactive methods out there to work out this shit.

Everytime anyone writes about racism - you all are directing all your comments towards me because you all don't like East Asia. Kindly please stop.. it's really bothering me

I miss my old IMAX, here living in London I don't fit comfortably in to any of them without either paying a massive premium or sacrificing quality. I tend to just stick with Dolby now instead.

Fun exercise. For me in Mexico is like

 

2D - $75 lc / $4.3 USD

3D - $90 lc / $5.2 USD

IMAX - $140-$160 lc / $8-$9 USD

4DX - $175-$220 lc / $10-$12.5 USD

VIP (Dine-in) - $170-$185 lc / $9.7-$10.5

 

PLFs including Dolby ones cost about the same as a traditional showing. Overall cheap compared to the rest of the world but we don't have matinee or weekday prices; you can only get cheap tickets either on Wednesdays or Mon/Tue if you have one of the chains' club card.
