:D Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I go to see 1-3 movies a month (depending on who I am with) so I miss a lot of movies on their first pass through the theatres. One of the biggest reasons is that I don't want to have to pay $15-$20/movie just for a ticket for myself, nevermind one for who I bring, and $15-$20 on snacks. When are theatres going to get it that they will bring in more business if they were to charge a monthly subscription for unlimited entry. They might lose a few dollars off of entry profit, but with more people visiting more often, think of how that will increase concession sales? Also, if any of you work for Famous Players, send me a PM. I want to know someone on the inside to get me in for free movies. Link to comment
:D Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Like today, I was going to go see Now You See Me and then try to sneak into The Purge after... But I don't want to shell out for a $10 bag of popcorn... Link to comment
avelanch Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 when people stop going to the theatres the theatres will start entertaining a monthly pass idea. Link to comment
22Sedinery33 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 If the cost is such a concern for a movie ticket and concession why don't you just wait to buy the dvd/blueray or watch it online? Link to comment

RonMexico Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 More theaters need to have liquor to get me and the old lady into them. Link to comment
Drouin Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 This is why I've stopped going to movie's at the theatre. There's too many people who don't know how to behave in public. Sadly in general movies the past few years are getting worse and worse. I don't get excited over movies anymore. I'd rather see movie theatres where you can reserve your seat instead of a subscription for seeing movies. Link to comment
Twilight Sparkle Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 i wait for dvd and watch on my big screen at home. buy some beer, chips n' papkorn and i've pretty much spent what i would have at the theatre. i don't go out to see movies anymore. there's really no point. always have those douchenozzels who talk during the whole thing like "oh, here comes the good part!" and those who make it known that you got a joke and go "Ohhhhh!" and, of course, pointless trivia Link to comment
GoaltenderInterference Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I usually buy the Cineplex "coupons" that are only $8.50 each. Makes it a little more affordable. Link to comment
avelanch Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 there are only a few movies that are worth watching at the theater, usually the big action blockbusters. comedys and whatnot can wait for the bluray. Link to comment
Madness Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I usually just wait for movies to come to DVD/BluRay. Too expensive. If I go to the theatre I try to make it out on Tuesday evenings since its half priced here. From $14 to 7 is a solid discount. Link to comment

D-Money Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I haven't been to a movie in the theatre in ages...I think the last one I saw was the first Star Trek. Either that or Toy Story 3. The experience (crammed into an auditorium, can't pause to go to bathroom, no booze, etc.) does not match the prices (2 tickets, snacks, etc...$40?). I'd get a lot more out of DL-ing something for free, popping my own popcorn (for pennies) and spending the 40 on a bottle of something nice. The big draw to the theatre in the past was that I had seen most of the movies on video that I really wanted to see, and so I was desperate to see something great. The only option to see the newest films was shelling out for the theatre. But now, I don't watch nearly as many movies as I used to. I don't feel the need to watch every "good" movie that is released. So when I do make the time to watch one, I have numerous options available. Link to comment

avelanch Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't think i'll ever be able to eat microwave popcorn again, as my baby's poop smells just like the butter they use on that stuff, kinda looks like it too. Link to comment
SkeeterHansen Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The theatre in Kamloops is actually usually pretty dead on Tuesday nights (movie ticket for $5), so that's when I usually go. I usually sneak in a bottle of pop and buy a small popcorn, costs me maybe $15 maximum. If I ever go see a movie that's NOT on a Tuesday, I usually only buy a ticket and suffer without corn. A subscription service would be great because I wouldn't be shelling out as much money on the spot. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't go to the theatre all that often. Paying 10-20 bucks every few months is better than they crazy high fee they'd probably charge monthly. I wouldn't doubt they'd charge $40+ a month if you're getting unlimited viewings Link to comment
:D Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I try to go on Tuesdays now, too. Link to comment
Psylocke Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 We should go see something together. Save those pennies by sharing a popcorn. Link to comment
