I think it has to do with the girl and the situation- and most would like it if you pay. It's not about the money, but about whether or not you show the ability to care for a girl in the long-run, and not just financially.
Also, if you're not looking long-term, she may just want you to shell out for the "dinner and a movie" to earn your place between her legs- someone who cares, even if only for the end result being sex, will get farther than someone who doesn't seem to care, and that's all just psychological.
Or maybe i'm talking out of my ass, but that's been my experience.
