My teen wanted to go to a movie until he found out it was $17.50. That not just driving away customers, but the industry is losing the next generation entirely
Tbh it probably costs the theater that much, it’s just that wages haven’t matched inflation for decades and streaming just utterly destroys theaters on cost. New movies coming to theaters also just mostly suck. Why would anyone want to see Marvel slop formula #2,938 when it’s nearly identical to the 2937 ones that came out before it? Even non Marvel movies are essentially Marvel movies with the action/comedy/nothing too thought provoking or interesting formula to appeal to the max number of people as possible. I remember getting extremely mad to the point of wanting to leave the movie theater during the last Marvel movie I watched because they had a scene that was almost a serious, touching moment and just had to have a stupid fart joke immediately after because God forbid anyone experiences any kind of emotions in a movie.
