the National Association of theatre owners had
their big convention it's called cinema kinda to trade show
in Las Vegas and the president John
50 n said that ticket prices might
actually go down that movie theaters my test out something that they're doing in
parts of Latin America
and parts of Europe where they take a day it seems to generally be Tuesday
and they have reduced ticket prices I just a little bit about ticket prices
the average ticket price right now
is eight dollars in 13 cents which for us in LA
actually see it in the family cheaply which is up from $7.96
in 2012 then you're the your the movie guy here is there any chance our movie
prices
yeah they're talking about what one day a week that they'd have like a
you know a wild-card Wednesday where you could go to a movie not sure they take
the
the most depressed day which is probably Monday and
yeah and have the tickets be seventy percent above what they normally are
fifty percent of
that strikes me as may get some sense because you might get people to go to
the movies and realize
well that was fun logo back on Saturday so
yet rated me is totally reasonable that that that this
business model that they selected in nineteen
29 1 sound gay movies
that this is how much movies gotten its gonna cost as much the same Saturday
night as it is
Monday and we aren't they already have them matinees are cheaper
there's no reason why a slow night you should make them cheaper dry and and
bring people in the other thing is that it's no use a smart thing to try
anyway doesn't hurt to try we've now reached the limit
over how much people want to pay for movies a Lake look let's be real the
reason your movies are
to get out like to cry on a date or you know you want a relaxing on get outta
the house if you're married in
and popcorn those are two main reasons your movies because yeah I can watch it
for like
white less than 10 percent on the price in a couple months
in my house so it the you've just got to expand to but also but what I thought
you were gonna say
what are the other things the movies is the by large for a night out
pretty cheap like I mean it still
is reasonably priced like going in but it's hard not to compare it to the
experience you could have at home
in whatever it is three months six months where you can get it for whatever
it is three bucks five bucks
you know I don't think people can tell me and them and the other thing is a TV
screens in our house is now or so large it's almost like a movie screen anyway
but added that movie you wanna see it because it's a move because you do you
like going out but you gotta keep it reasonably priced to meet up its
if it's gonna cause I've the tickets are gonna go out with Spielberg talked about
years ago
at not even like years ago like a couple years ago was that he thinks they're
headed to a model
where if you go see a a movie like
the mud the Matthew got a movie like an independent movie
that might be the normal price eight dollars in the midwest ten dollars here
in LA
but Noah a big release or the new Captain America which comes out next
week
that that movie especially on a Friday or Saturday would have premium pricing
and that might be twenty or twenty two dollars and I said we were headed in
that direction and other
for me for the big enough pro-civil on prince will look I a at this point both
cable television
and movies I consider a luxury good that's an indulgence
and I think that if you're array or family try to make it in iowa
in are you gonna pay in all this money for the tickets then all that money for
the popcorn
I mean I don't know what it is in your neck of the woods if you go to get a
small water here
it's a four to five dollars yes we're crazy
exactly there's no way I have never something in the money the movie theater
right because the studio takes half up front but the ticket sales week for real
where
with eight dollars in 13 cents when we pay here in a few good movies at the
Grove in LA
what 16 bucks or something somewhere where the balloting that was damn much
really good hands it was like 12 or younger through ideally it's even more
like a lot in the eye when I have to sweat movies that are out there and see
that really go in the afternoon today
terrible where the balancing that where's the Chi is it like arkansans
there like a a 1-yard election are concerned that are a little cheaper I
could say that
well we do have electricity and running water down there and there are more
complex is always talking to people and they are having loud sex down there we
know that
like a stripper in Vegas I get most my sex here a
but month I yes you know
I but you know what biggest is cheaper
everything's cheaper than LA and and New York Giants is expensive because they're
paying your pain for the rent due to greater building we were also being here
with which hasn't happened like I was in Seattle
for TCM to do we're screening of Casablanca for our 20th anniversary
three weeks ago and they don't in at Seattle a sophisticated
city with money right and they don't even have the
Stadium seating yet and the pick your own seats like that doesn't exist about
most there's a thing that's happened in New York has happened here that I think
everyone who experiences here likes it
you know where you can pick you see it you can buy the tickets at a time but
thats luxury we do paper that that's
that some led the best freaking thing ever because I never had to endure the
pick your own seating
that is like you'll have to sift through the although streak in your review
yeah I'm and goes away but we're certainly move back to leave by I'll
almost there
well at this than the on america's thing that they ruin just said
what sitting through all those previews friends I don't think the best part of
the movie I don't go every
I don't go to a previous year or I don't want to see a preview I like
know for comedies I agree with you because they give you the best jokes and
then there's no point in going to the movies such as comedy's the right thing
gives every day that you request the way the movies and I know but that's why I
get to watch for that price I want to get like 40 minutes before the real deal
be starts
but kene reassess with a cheaper
I
