That translates to roughly $13-$15US. I tend to wait for them to come out on Box office or DVD now, unless its something I really HAVE to see, like Harry Potter, or Star Trek. Some films have to be experienced with a theatre full of strangers to be enjoyed. We pay $15-$18 in OZ. That translates to roughly $13-$15US.

In my city they are 5.50. Regular price to get in is 8.50 and has been for 10 years over here as well or right around there I think in the last 10 years they went from 8 to 8:50. Anyway if you go to Boxofficemojo.com they show the adjusted top 100 movies of all time. It's not 100% accurate they even admit it on the site if you do a little digging, but it's as close as you'll get. DataSchmuck a lot of places are still roughly 6 for matinee.

Do the numbers take into account inflation? For instance maybe 5 or 6 years ago, matinee prices were around 5 to 6 dollars. Now they are 10 to 12 dollars. So if today's movie only sells a little more than half the tickets of older movies, it breaks the box office records! That doesn't seem right! What if they started measuring by number of tickets sold? I'd like to see those numbers.

Also at the end of the day no matter who sits in that chair it will still be a movie about giant alien robots that turn in to cars. It can only be so good.
