      The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.

      The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.

      A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.

        And while concessions have been overpriced forever, they’ve really gone nuts with it recently. I was gonna buy a large bag of popcorn, a bottled water, and 2 sodas and it was gonna be like 50 bucks.
