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.

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

it's not highly isolated, the company is not that small they have at least 40 theaters 7 states and you can get those prices in big cities like minneapolis, chicago, milwaukee, Colombus, Omaha and more.
