Reply #30: It's a combination of contrived movies and elevated prices

Cost-wise, a family of four or five is looking at about $100 for tickets and food.

And I agree with the lack of originality. They're lazy and straight-up remaking movies with new actors: Pelham 1-2-3, The Omen, The Amityville Horror, etc.

It's a rare movie that will get me to the theater anymore, and my family were a group of avid theatergoers.

As for the A-List, if they can't muddle through with a $10 million paycheck for a film rather than $20 mil, then boo-freakin'-hoo. I just don't have any sympathy for anyone making that kind of money, as I think they're all vastly overpaid, and many are really not worth that money based on their "talent", IMO.
