Comment on Is It Still Worth Going to the Movies?

Oh of course, going to the movies should be an experience, and it’s that shared experience of people watching, reacting, laughing, and crying together on the big screen that makes it magical, regardless of how good your home theater setup is.
I will concede that watching it at home on a tablet or on your TV isn’t necessarily worse, just different.

Is that experience worth 100 dollars for two people?

Where did you get the 100 dollars from? Checked on Fandango, an adult ticket to a new release costs ~15 dollars in LA right now, which I think is pretty reasonable.

A regular theater you’re looking at 30 for two tickets + what, another 20-30 for drinks and popcorn. Candy will push you over 70. An average persons full day of pay after tax. 100 is a stretch in that instance. Take into account the closest 3 theaters to me are all nicer theaters with real food drinks and wait staff, it’s impossible to come out of there for under 100

Just don’t buy food? It justs degrades experience for you and other people.
