everyone saying tickkets are so expensive, but i have not seen that happening at all, after all the numbers in the OP are for the US. I can still go on tuesday night to marcus theaters and watch any movie for $5.

That is highly isolated, especially for the newly released movies.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/ . You can check the evolution of ticket prices here, starting from 1980. Note that around when Gone with the Wind released around 1940, the average ticket price was $1.

Even nowadays' movie directors agree with the fact that going to the movies is an activity that has become too expensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ7qKKQrSBY

uh.. you do realize that $1 in 1940 is worth $17 today right?
