Just next door to Poland, in Germany, it's already $15 per ticket. And at least with adults or teenagers it's very easy to spend another $10 per person on snacks and something to drink, which already pushes you to $100 for four people.

At my local theater in California, an adult ticket to see A Man Called Otto at 7:30 pm is $11.75 and a child is $8.50. So a family of four would be spending $40 - $50 to see the film.

Avatar: The Way of Water at 6:30 has the same pricing.

A package of candy from a local store will be $1.50 - $3. (Each.) There's no way you're getting up to $100. (You could spend more by buying food inside the theater, but you'd have to be stupid to go for that.)

> another $10 per person on snacks and something to drink

Fair enough - Netflix doesn't charge $10 for snacks & drinks, but I don't get them either.

Similarly, a glass of wine in a restaurant is "overpriced" compared to drinking on your home cough from a liquor store.

What I mean is: make a fair comparison, please. Different experience, different price.

(Though I concur that Poland ticket price sounds much more reasonable)
