In fact... it looks like they've slightly dropped.

Dropped? You've produced a graph showing they've been on the increase for the past 30 years.

And where the heck can you get a movie ticket for $11? A discount matinee viewing at my local theaters is from $17 to $20. $20-$23 if you go in the evening. The lowest price ticket, a Tuesday noon showing, is $12.

I don't recall the last time I went to the movies with my wife and spent less than $60 (tickets, a shared soda, two snacks).

My local Cinemark has tickets for $5.50, $8.50... you're probably in a premium market.

$11 sounds about right to me. It's an average so some areas will be higher and others lower but $23 sounds awful.

Places where real estate is cheaper than wherever you live.
