I saw Here today in Victoria, Australia at my local Village Cinemas where the prices since I last went there seemed to have spiked massively. It's now $18 AUD for a Vrewards Concession ticket. Hardly much of a discount for being a Vrewards member and also being a concession card holder. I suppose they have to pay for the cinema upgrades somehow. Great new comfy seats.
Here is a bit of a tearjerker of a film. I quite enjoyed the concept. And I loved the re-pairing of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright as a Forrest Gump fan.
There was about 10 people in the 1:15pm screening. Free parking on a Sunday is handy too.
With a hot dog each (terrible btw) and 2 small Coke No Sugars the total for my fiance and I was $71 AUD. I reckon that's the highest price I've paid for the both of us seeing a movie that wasn't Gold Class.
The last time I'd been to a movie at the cinemas was Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga with my Dad. I seem to pick the flops I know. My fiance hadn't been all year. She enjoyed Here. The advertisements were excessive before the film too. The longest from memory of going to the cinemas in Australia.
At these prices I think I am going to retreat back into the comforts and affordability of streaming services for a while. Though I do want to see Gladiator II with my Dad (we saw the original at my local Paramount Twin when it originally came out) and brother at the revamped Paramount Twin, now known as Maryborough Paramount Theatre.
And Anora is coming to the recently reopened Regent Cinemas, Ballarat now known as Palace Regent Cinemas, Ballarat as it was taken over by Palace Cinemas and has a hell of a lot more arthouse fare. As a person who lives regionally I'm loving it. I haven't been yet to the newly relaunched Palace Regent Cinemas but I've got a Palace Movie Club card that I purchased two years of as a vote of confidence in the operation. I also wouldn't mind seeing Saturday Night there.
Keep up the great work Scott. You really scratch an itch for me when I want to go deep into box office analysis consumption mode.
In terms of "fun" awards-season movies, either Wicked or Gladiator II are certainly in the conversation.
