When I was back in the college, we would wait for the movie to be shown in the one-dollar theater. The $dollar theater would start showing about a week before the movie was released into DVD and it would show only big movies. And thats not a desi thing btw. The dollar theaters were house-full (of goras) on week days, espeically on Tuesdays because it was half price. So, on Tuesdays' the movie would cost $0.50 cents. I am talking about more than a decade ago, in Michigan. The dollar theaters do still exist and and from a recent article I read, they do better business than full-price theaters.
You have to wait for the movie to be shown on the dollar theater but the price was good, the wait was worth and you knew that the movie was good to be able to make it to the dollar theater. Hey, it was cheaper than renting from Block Buster, well, unless you were craving for popcorn. A large bucket with extra butter with a cup of drink was still more than $10 back than while watching 0.50 cent movie.
Apart from the few times when we are in a ‘shahana mood’ and buy nachos and popcorns etc., I just carry a large bag.. just cos it’s my style you know :halo:
not a fan of popcorn, so not an issue. but did buy bottled water a few times for 4x the market price. made sure I drank it as slowly as possible to get my money's worth and to maximize the enjoyment.
In US movie theaters/cinema halls they do not allow you to bring anthing you did not buy from their concession stand, that is why you see all the whiners ( I included in the list) complaining about it.
where do you live?
