Theatres have done it to themselves with gouging pricing. I love going to a movie but not when it costs $50 for two people including snacks. Thats outrageous! Also the monolithic theatres that have replaced the old 1 screen and 2 screen movie houses dont help. Maybe if theatres were a little cheaper and not so antiseptic people would go again.
The Eglinton theatre (RIP) was an amazing example of theatres done right.

fine, 5$ is expensive, but you dont HAVE to buy popcorn if you dont wanna, and tahts not the experience part I was referring to, ie. so even if you dont buy popcorn, you can still appreciate teh experience part I'm referring too (well, IMO)
And Yes, I'll gladly pay 5$ for popcorn, bc you cant make it taste that good at home in a popper or store made!
Its the drinks I'll complain about instead.
I went ot McDicks before hand on Saturday and just litterally walked in w/ my mcDonald's pop at Cinema Four... LOL that was great.
