    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.
