The theater experience.

Have you ever watched a movie in the theater? I have not seen that much but what I have seen is fun. You can have you whole popcorn (the most outrageously expensive type) and the biggest soda cup there is. Although we have this recession going on but people find this entertainment the cheapest of all, since they don’t have the money to go on a vacation, it is like a mini vacation to them. Just pure two hours (depending on movie time) of escapism into fantasy.

But even this cheapest form of entertainment is not that cheap when you factor in all the popcorn and soda involved and the transportation cost going to the theater and parking (if you have a car). It can easily involve over 50 Dollars if two people are going. It goes up more if you are watching 3D or an IMAX movie which costs extra. And if you have kids, then you easily go above 100 Dollars. But people are still going to see the movies since it is the only form of entertainment for most folks now in this bad economy.
