prevnextThey can charge zero cents, still not stepping into a enclosed box with hundreds of strangers during an pandemic with an air borne pathogen...not even for Godzilla vs Kong and that one really hurts...

If my math is correct I can pay 15 dollars and buy out 100 tickets meaning I can empty out a large portion of seats...

Still wouldn't do it
prevnextSince my clearest COVID19 nightmare was about going to the movies, I will not be going until well after there's a vaccine. So...good luck? 15 cents is still too much to pay for a potential life-threatening nightmare experience.

No thanks! They’ve been fleecing us for years charging $8 for .25 cents worth of popcorn. $5 for .10 cents worth of soda and a bottle of water that costs more than 2 gallons of gas. And to top it off we have to sit through 20 minutes of previews. I’m never going back.
