I always imagined that in the US some things were very cheap and snacks in general like McDonald’s and movies were very cheap and accessible.

Way too expensive. They price gouge now because they fully expect most people to bring their own snacks.
Depends on the times and theater. Can range from $1 to $20+.
We have $1 theaters that show older movies not shown at other major theaters.
You have drive in theaters that, by me, are around $10-$20.
There are matinee times that are usually on the weekend before 2pm that are around $5-$7.
Regular times and the weekends are $12-$20 depending on what theater and part of town you’re in.
It varies.
About $16 for the chain theater, $13 for an independent theater. There’s also a dine-in theater with $10 tickets, because they make money off high food prices.
$10 for ticket, $6 for popcorn
I just checked, and tickets to see a movie near me this afternoon cost about $11-15. Prices for evening showings would be more.
I went last night with some friends, tickets to the nearly sold out Minecraft movie were $17 each. Imo that’s not too bad.
McDonald’s is way too expensive for what it is. You’ll get a meal and it’ll be like $16-17
$15-20 depends on time of day, and type of seat
About $15
I think it’s around $12 for a ticket. The USA just like most nations the cost of goods and services depends on local wages
Your imagination is just that: imagination.
The average price of a movie ticket where I live is $12.
A Big Mac meal at the nearest McDonald’s is also $12.
Might not sound expensive, but I can watch a lot more than one movie and make a lot more than one burger (even with fries and a drink) at home for $48.
Plus, I don’t have to put up with jerks in the theater with their phones ringing and chiming, and people talking over the movie dialogue, or farting into the seats.
And McDonald’s is kinda gross. Leave their food out for a year and it won’t grow mold.
Just sayin’.
Can vary from a few bucks for matinees, the “dollar theater”, and even the local drive-in, to a much more for IMAX or a fancier theater.
Probably still too much but last time I went to the movies I spent for $40, but that was mostly food as at Alamo Drafthouse I get actual meal rather than snacks.
The one near me is close to $25
In my experience, it depends a LOT on what time you go.
A daytime showing might be under $10 for the ticket. Saturday night at the same theatre, same movie can easily be $15+
Also, here in the US (idk if other countries have made this change) a few years ago a lot of movie theatres started moving towards having a more luxury experience. Fewer seats in the theatre, but they’re much more comfortable seats that can recline, have a foot rest, etc. These theatres obviously charge more because they have fewer seats to sell
Daughter saw the Minecraft movie last night and the ticket was $20
I’m an avid movie goer so I have the AMC pass which gives me up to 3 movies a week for about $25 a month. Worth it to me, even in slow seasons or bitterly cold weather
$4-$20 depending on the theatre. The one in my town is $6 and $8 at night. A couple and a half towns down south and there’s one for $4 but it’s mostly known for its hotdogs.
$13-$20 depending on day, time of day and if it is normal, Dolby or IMax
I haven’t been to a movie theater in years, but I just looked and the independent little old theater in my town is $8 for matinee and $10 in the evening.
The closest bigger chain theater in the city next door says $15.25 matinee and $18.50 evening. I assume they have all the fancier new technology and more luxurious seating, and the little local theater likely hasn’t updated as much.
Local theatre in my town, $8 for a matinee, $11.40 for an evening ticket
Depends on where you live I think. Where I live most prices are 15 if you are lucky, usually 20-30. As for snacks at a theater, you are looking at about the same for a drink and snack. It’s easily 60-75 bucks to really enjoy a movie. Now there are ways to only spend the 15 but without any of the extras.
Where I live, tickets are around $14-$17 a person. I believe it’s more for IMAX. Theater food is pricey. I have no idea how much McDonald’s is. I don’t eat there.
The chain movie theatres are around $18-20 for evening movies. Matinees are usually cheaper, $11-15. Our local independent theatre costs $10 all day, and $5 Mondays. Pre-covid we had a $5 local movie theatre.
I live in a HCOL suburb.
