    I can’t afford the ticket and concessions, let alone the gas to drive there. $200 for one night’s entertainment or 4 days of food for a family of four and a dog?

      Your dog is lying, they don’t need the finest steak every meal time.

      Those prices sound utterly insane. I spend less than that on food in a month and going to the cinema is under £10. I usually don’t buy any of their food and bring my own water.

        Yea, but let’s say you have a spouse and kids. You probably aren’t going to the theater by yourself. Now you’re buying 60+ in tickets, and probably 40+ in popcorn/soda if you have kids there.

        That being said, you could go on a discounted day and tell the family no snacks/soda. Then you’re looking at 40ish bucks for a family of 4.

          Just looked it up, £23 family ticket without any discounts. But if you are going as a family you are looking at different kinds of film.
