If you live in a city, movies are needlessly expensive. AMC does half price tickets on Tuesdays, so if you can schedule around that you can go see a movie for what people used to be able to pay. A group of us try to see IMAX movies on Tuesdays for 'only' $12 a ticket.
Am I wrong about the city thing? Anyone in the burbs/more rural areas seeing prices like OP's?
