I'm sure you are aware, movies are more expensive to make than back in the 70s when the Godfathers were made.
Further, a $3 movie ticket in 1975, with inflation is now at $14.77, so movie tickets are cheaper than the were in 1975.
Forget 1975, $3-4 was bad enough then but I believed the movie ro be worth the money. However feeling ripped of is more a state of mind thn anything else. It’s a question of value for me. Is it worth spending $12-14 on a movie I will be able to watch for free in only a few months? To me it is.
It’s simply not urgent and besides that there is no better place than my home to kick back watch movies or otherwise be entertained.
