With tickets at $12-$15 in LA, people can’t afford movies anymore...

I’m surprised the Steve Jobs movie is a flop. Where are all the Apple fanboys?

Me and the wife went to the 3D version of the Martian.
33 bucks. No popcorn.

People are affording movies fine. Problem with this crop is October is another dump zone. I want to see Kasbah but lacked time, it looks way to weird to be a hit, which is really the type of movie I like.

People are flocking to The Martian still. Once people see that, they will go to other movies.

It’s not just that, although that’s valid, I look at the list of movies out there and cough up a lung based on subject matter. I wouldn’t pay a $1.00 to see that trash. Cable or better yet, never...

Nah, folks go... but if you are going to do something that harkens back to a TV series in the 80s or 90s or whenever it was, if you want the fans to show up, even just for curiosities sake you have to at least TRY to stick with the source material no matter how crazy that source material may be... not just stick the name on some movie to try to draw them in, and then make a movie that has nothing to do with it. (JEM)

As to “Steve Jobs” seriously what was the studio thinking? A movie about him was done about him a few years ago... what reason is there to go see another one a few years later?

Paranormal Activity... what movie is this in that series? Not my genre to begin with, but for the most part these are some of the most BORING films I have ever tried to watch... amazed they keep making them.

Rock the Kasbah??? Seriously, trying to ride Bill Murray to box office cash? Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy, but his fan base isn’t going to show up at a movie... when is the last time he’s lead in a movie that made any money?

“Last Witch Hunter” another live forever between living and undead/evil... nothing unique here... but these movies usually at least get the teen kids to show up.

Basically a week of weak crap.... got weak results.

Explore if your local theater has first showing prices. For the first showing of the day, 11 cineplexes in the area have all prices for $5.00 or $5.50 (better than matinee by $3.50 - $4.00, even better than seniors' prices). So for us on weekends, it is either breakfast and a movie or movie and a late lunch. Then a whole day to explore other activities.
Note: concessions are the same price throughout the day.

Can save (for 2), $14 - 18.00 (first showing versus after 6:00 showings).
