They are falling for the same logical missteps that cable took. Losing customers = rate hikes. Pushing more away leading to more rate hikes. Instead they should be lowering costs and finding ways to encourage people to come back
I live near an Alamo Drafthouse in Colorado and never went to movies more since they started doing $7/ticket Tuesdays in like February which I believe was only meant to be limited time originally but SO MANY people kept coming and getting food/drinks/popcorn/etc they’re still doing it.
It’s very smart on their part that they may be losing money on the movie ticket but getting their staff paid more so it works out.
Yep, people like going to a show. It’s a simple equation of cost vs reward. As the other response mentioned, movies just aren’t worth 20 bucks plus 15 for food. They aren’t good enough. For 7, I would totally go.
Don’t forget the shitty product too. TV and movies are mind numbingly bad these days. Sure there’s the occasional good/great show or movie, but the vast majority are just shit. Add that to everything else you pointed out and it’s no wonder they’re in trouble and keep hiking the fees.

Ya spot on. Such a waste of money for both.
