As a follow up to a statement I made in my blog
post yesterday regarding a personal preference- the common theme that will not
only generate, but maintain audience interest in films. This statement was
added to provoke a thought process so the reader can think and question the
reasoning behind WHY they see a movie.
When one takes into consideration the cost of going
to the movies, for either a couple or a family of 4 or 5, tickets vary by
location at AMC theaters, on average for an adult during prime viewing time is
around $12.50 and children slightly less. These high prices force many America
who were former weekly or bi-monthly movie-goers, to take into consideration to
think twice about spending their hard earned money.
Sometimes
people’s time is also equally as limited. With demands to work longer, harder
hours at work, more people are very selective how they spend their and have to
think about the how long a movie is before they comment. So, my
thought/question to my readers is this: what drives a movie-goer to a theater?
Is it a unique indie film, which is thought provoking and will have you
complicating statements for hours, such as Blue Jasmine? Or would the general
population of movie-goers prefer to see a major production, such as Gravity?
Which do you view as a bigger value of both you time and money?
An interesting article in USA disuses the increase
of movie prices in July of 2013 and how they are at all time high.
