Re: Average ticket prices
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.)Gunslinger wrote: I still love and believe in the theatrical experience, and I'm always so excited for movies. I'm sure when I buy Never Let Me Go on Blu-ray, the picture and audio will be sharper, more dynamic, etc. than any of the three times I saw the film in theatres, but I'm still glad I saw it on the big screen with an audience multiple times, and felt transported each time. So it's this frustrating give-and-take...but I won't give up on the theatrical experience the way others seem content to. I'm with you 100% on this point!

Re: Average ticket prices
The official NATO numbers for 2010 are here: Average Movie Ticket Price for 2010 Was $7.89The 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

FUCKING RIDICULOUS! Are you serious? No wonder people are becoming more selective. No way I'd pay those premiums for most films.

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.

Re: Average ticket prices (1st quarter 2011)
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)

Re: Average ticket prices (1st quarter 2011)
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.

Re: Average ticket prices (1st quarter 2011)
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!!!

Re: Average ticket prices (1st quarter 2011)
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?

Re: Average ticket prices (2nd quarter 2011)
Those numbers aren't a big surprise imo. It could have been more especially for movies like TF3 and DH2

Re: Average ticket prices (3rd quarter 2011)
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.

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