So it's this frustrating give-and-take...but I won't give up on the theatrical experience the way others seem content to.

My local theatres went through a phase of sloppy management in the early 2000's, but got their act together and tightened up the technical side now to the point where a minor glitch is a very rare exception. To hear you guys talk, I guess I must be living in Movie Heaven! (I do count my blessings - - frequently and with gratitude.)

The official NATO numbers for 2010 are here: Average Movie Ticket Price for 2010 Was $7.89 The average cost jumped to $8.01 in the fourth quarter due to the premium price of 3D tickets. The average movie ticket price for 2010 ended up being $7.89, after the average cost jumped to $8.01 in the fourth quarter. It was the first time that the cost of admission ever jumped the $8 mark. The National Assn. of Theater Owners calculates the yearly ticket price based on the quarter averages. The average cost in the first quarter of 2010 was $7.95, but dipped to $7.88 in the second, and $7.71 in the third. The average ticket price in 2009 was $7.50. Year-over-year, the 2010 average price of $7.89 represented a 5.2% increase. Helping to drive the higher cost were 3D films, which charge a premium. Over the past five years, ticket prices have consistently been up 4% to 5% year-over-year. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/a ... Stories%29

My movie season started yesterday when I saw Fast Five. Thor is Thursday night, and I'll also definitely see Pirates 4, Hangover 2, X-Men, Captain America, Transformers and Harry Potter. Movies I would have seen in a heartbeat in previous years now become bubble movies, only seen if I have the time or money... Super 8, Green Lantern, Cars 2, Cowboys & Aliens, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, along with many smaller films.

So with a lot of IMAX and 3D movies coming out in Summer are the average admissions pirces expected to go above $8 again ? Plus in April we had Rio and F5 (at the end but still OD was a big chunk I believe)

Probably, especially with movies like HP7-2 coming up...

F5 wasn't 3D. You have Thor, Priest (negligible), Pirates, Panda, Cars and Green Lantern in the next quarter. After that Transformers, Captain America, Smurfs, Potter and a whole slew of mid-range crap. We'll see how the audience responds.

Transformers & Harry Potter are the only films this year I'd pay to see in IMAX 3D. That's over $30 for 2 movies. Unbelievable!!!

Is it valid to assume the average 3D ticket is about 1.4x the average non-3D ticket price? If so, for opening weekend 1st Q 2011 (based on above), I get approx. $7.59 ave non 3D ticket price $10.63 ave 3D ticket price Is there better data available?

Post subject:	Re: Average ticket prices (2011 results)
The fact that it didn't pass $8 average makes 2011 admissions look slightly less worse.

Those numbers aren't a big surprise imo. It could have been more especially for movies like TF3 and DH2

That does not sound really big...we have DH2 and a lot of August movies in 3rd quarter right? I seriously doubt that this is a correct number.
