minus-squarebigbangdangler@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up22arrow-down1·2 days agoThe 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.
