I think we're at $6.50 for a matinee, and if you buy the ticket online they add a $1 service charge.
Until February there was a multi-screen, privately-owned theater near our home that charged $4 for shows before 5:00 and had unlimited, serve-yourself popcorn and soda refills. Now all the theaters near us are owned by one corporation (Marcus). The latest theater in their flock combined two venues into one 16-screen comples with two "ultra screens", meal service, a full bar, child care, free valet parking, ice cream shop, pizza shop and live comedy venue. We'll see how long the ticket price above holds. Concessions are outrageous; we paid $15 for two small sodas and a large tub of popcorn. One thing I will say in their defense is that they have twice as many women's restrooms as they have for men.
