The local theatre near me started charging $5 a ticket. It is full every night pretty much. Whereas the AMC nearby with its $14 tickets has a dozen people in it.
Theaters would make more money by lowering their prices.
I can see this as being both good and bad, really.
The good is that you don't have to get there early if you buy tickets ahead of time for the good seats.
The bad is that people will probably buy out the good seats before you and if you just show up early you won't even have a chance.
I can't argue that inflation is out of control? What does economic inflation have to do with movies? It doesn't and no it isn't out of control. Would you like me to list your current inflation figures? If you would have said "average family earnings are not what they use to be when adjusted for inflation" then maybe I would agree with you.
However when looking at movie tickets:

They are actually some what cheaper compared to inflation for the last 40 years. To summarize. Movies are still cheap entertainment.
Certainly if you have a family it is not a cheap affair, but then nothing is really a cheap affair with children. But families are the only movie audience out there. Teens/young adults/seniors etc all go to the movies.
To be honest if you don't like going to concerts, you don't like drinking you don't really it seems like spending money in society then how do you figure those places are still in business? Because people actually do spend money on those goods and services and chose to and in turn they create jobs.
Just because you don't like something or can't afford something doesn't make it terrible.
Eventually movie theaters will be a dead delivery model when people demand more and more to have new movie releases streamed directly to their home theater setups.

whoever came up with this idea... I really really hope they get fired when they see how it permanently hurts their business.
Premium seating? What are they going to have some kind canadian bouncer there to screen people? for two adults it's already hitting the 50 dollar mark for ticket/popcorn/soda/candy and they want to tack on another few bucks?
These movie companies are just making it easier and easier to stay home, enjoy cheap snacks, no loud/fat/smelly people next to you, and save 50 dollars.
I'm sure they will blame their soon to be slump in sales on piracy.
Fuck em'
I've never understood why theaters don't just go with all reserve seating.
It's not as if you can get more people in the theater if you don't assign the seats, at least not legally.
We have a local complex that has a Titan XC theater. Reserved seating, 4K video and Dolby ATMOS. That works great.
I've also been to theaters where they combine a restaurant with the theater.
You buy your ticket, you get a menu and order what you want. It's delivered before the movie begins and you sit at higher than normal tables in seats that aren't quite like a theater seat, but much better than your average restaurant chair.
