DHEK: I don't know how much yours are, but the cineplexes near where I live charge decently, in my opinion.

Meisterchow: Sometimes
Majiken: Not anymore, which is why I go to matinees and sneak in my own snacks.

chockle: no
verandi: prices vary... at <$6.50 yes
Syrion: Matinee? Sure, $5 is a decent price. Evening? Considering I've seen movies priced at $8 and up, God no. I'm amazed that people willingly pay the ticket price and then go inside and buy $9 worth of "snacks" that would cost $1 in a grocery store.
pellitieri: No. Matinees here are $6.50. I can rent the DVD for $3 and take a few days to watch it.
