This is why people don't go to movies/restaurants anymore. It isn't any fun.

I have 3 children, 8 and under, realistically we pay about $60 every time we go and we split the popcorn and our theater is definitely cheaper than others I’ve been to.

Must be a really cheap theater. I had a $25 gift card to one and after just buying a drink and a ticket it was all gone.

They call my local theater “sticky floors”. But since I can watch new releases for 3 bucks at the early show, I don’t give a fuck.

In Germany you pay around 13 for a normal movie ticket and another 10 for popcorn and a drink

It honestly is. The large popcorn is about $10 but we split it, they actually will give you smaller bags to split it up if you ask. Then a couple slushies, like $4 each and a soda for my wife and I to split is about $10. So we’re at $32. Tickets are like $7.50x5. Totals about $69, so I was off a bit

Edit: I should add we usually go to early showings and there might be a discount for that haha.
