It seems movies are opening softer every week and the high ticket prices are masking shrinking attendance. Others talk about weariness from remakes and maybe that's a factor, but the reason I don't go to the movies as much anymore is that with ticket prices at 10 dollars for a matinee and 13 for a night showing, the thought process of deciding on going to a movie is more complicated. High prices makes me take a lot into consideration on whether a trip to the theater is worth it or not: all the other things I can and need to spend that money on, the inconveniences of going, the annoyances of being in a theater, the other things I could be doing, the been there done that factor with remakes...bottomline: when it was under 10 dollars, I didn't really care about throwing the cash away. Call it psychological barrier or whatever, 10 now matters.
