The $35 Movie

The ultimate movie theater experience is making it's way to America. For only $35 you get to watch that movie you've been dying to see on the best technology and most comfortable seating in almost complete privacy. Yay!

That's just awesome. It has a bar. Lets get drunk and watch movies with rich people. Wait...no. This is a $70 date, not counting the dinner before hand and the $20 popcorn and soda for the movie. Maybe they'll have wine and cheese instead. Cause you know, there's nothing wrong with the economy. This is just what we needed.

For those interested in where they will start.

I am not a writer, I just had to share this. My Geek Source.

well, i know of a lot of theatres where they serve booze and have awesome seats, and a full food medu, complimentary soda/popcorn, et cetera...

people will love this.

I was going to say "what planet do they live on?" But, what planet do I live on?

I prefer Brew-n-View where it's a $5 cover charge playing a double feature of Grease and Fast Times at Ridgemont High along with $2 beers.

Do they have someone come by and jam cell phones up the people's asses for texting/talking during the movie?

DRIVE-INS AND WEED!

it sounds crazy but its kind of easy to spend about $35 at a normal theater .... if you want to buy food and a drink.... or you could do what i do and smuggle Skittles in through my bra

Mmmmmm.....skittle-boobs

The Moolah, Chase Park, Galleria and Tivoli in St. Louis all have open bars with microbrews and wine available, and movies are the usual price. I hope this new institution tanks.

There is a theater here that has a bar upstairs, and a restaurant. And you can get a tray of food to take in the theater, such as chicken tenders, boneless chicken wings, shrimp and french fries on the first floor, in the same area you get the popcorn and drinks.

You can get special leather seats for select movies, but they aren't 35 bucks. For 35 bucks, that should include at least one alcoholic drink and appetizer. And I am betting they don't bring drinks to you while you are in the theater, watching the movie.

I think someone should make and "On Demand" theater that you can rent out a theater and select from a few hundred classic movies. Then you split the price with everyone in your party.

There are at least two dollar theaters in my area. Last time I checked, then one charged $1.00 for weekday showings, and $1.50 for weekends (including Friday night.) The other one is newer, so I haven't checked them out yet.

movies are historically recession proof.

i don't think people who are interested in a $100+ movie going experience are going to give a shit one way or another about some free wings.

you can hire a screening room anytime you want, watch whatever you want and invite whoever you want.

They have one in Detroit/Ferndale as well and yes=awesomeness x 10

Yeah, we've got one here too. And Cleveland Cinemas does $5 Mondays with a free small popcorn. But I'll bet it's a lot less common in LA and NY.

We have one close by in NJ that is $4 a show. They are about a month behind the big theaters which actually isn't too bad, plus they do a lot of indie flicks as well.

I had this idea 7 years ago.

If only I'd gone through with it and sold it during the housing bubble...

*headslap*

So for $35 I can get the "experience" of watching a movie at home? (ie dinner, alcoholic drinks)

It's been a dream of mine, if I ever become rich, to build a drive-in somewhere in the desert. Star Wars, Godzilla, really bad '80s slasher flicks, the works.
