What was the last movie you saw at the movie theaters? Can you name the movie or has it been so long that you went to a theater you don’t remember? You may be like me and avoid going to movie theaters because of their unreasonable upscale prices. Just to get into the movies the tickets are ten dollars! Imagine if five people went to the movie, that’s fifty dollars just to watch a 90-minute movie. Popcorn and drinks are extremely overpriced with their price of about another ten dollars, NOT including candy! My family and I used to have a movie night out every week but since the prices went up we have turned to other alternatives.
Netflix has become very popular because for only 7.99 dollars a month you can watch an unlimited amount of movies on your TV or computer. Many have subscribed to this site and have avoided going to the movie theaters. Another growing alternative is Red Box. With just one dollar you can rent a movie for a night and enjoy a nice movie night at home.
If you still want to get out the house and go into a theater, try going to the dollar movies. Last night I went to a dollar theater movie, which is technically now a $1.75 movie theater, but is still better than a $10 ticket. These theaters show movies you would get at a red box, but the concessions are still pretty pricy. The only thing with these alternatives is that the movies are not box opening premiers. Yet, they still help when it comes to keeping a budget.
