Molly, you are paying for the hype. We spent more than $30 at the theatre.

9:34 am

BzznBea

Congrats dan.

9:35 am

penquis

i can spend $8 to see it at the theater in my town....hello all...

9:36 am

BzznBea

That's probably what are tickets were. But concessions are outrageous!

9:37 am

penquis

true....they are noticeably less at the theater in town...it's not part of a chain....it's a nonprofit....

9:38 am

BzznBea

I'm not sure what tickets are at our drive-in.

9:42 am

dan2bit

I definitely know musical folks who would pay that to be able to sing along, which is not exactly kosher in a movie theatre

9:43 am

penquis

perhaps....and some people don't want to go to the theater....if you have a bunch of people to watch it with you, it's not really expensive....

9:44 am
