I haven't seen a movie in a theater in over four years. Most of this is because I don't want to take my 4 and 1 year old to a theater but the costs are crazy. Even for a matinee a family of four is out $25 bucks when you walk in the door. Get a couple of drinks and snacks and they could easily spend over $60 total. Add in the gas, the lines and the distractions and it is too expensive for a family on a budget. It's ridiculous. I'd much rather be able to buy first-run movies than go to the theater.
