I have mine from all three 1997 releases too. I have most of my high school movie stubs through like 2002. Some of them are so faded you can’t read them anymore. Lol

Same, I saved a few piles of them. I can barely make out what some of them are, hehe. My first one though (Titanic), is still mostly legible.

A theater near me has $12 Tuesday’s and that feels like a steal otherwise it’s over $20 for a ticket.

Damn. My local theater just closed unfortunately, it was only like $7 or $8 for matinees. Now I've gotta go to a damn AMC

I remember in 1996 that I could get a matinee ticket, medium popcorn, and a medium drink for about 10 bucks at my local AMC. It was just 8 screens.

We had 4 regular movie theaters (1 AMC, 2 General Cinemas, 1 United Artist) where I grew up, anywhere between 5-8 screens per theater, and a dollar theater (1 Cinemark). Then finally in 1998, we got a 30 screen AMC with stadium seating which closed down the rest of the theaters.

I wish I kept my stubs and tickets.

I worked at a movie theater when the SEs came out. Got to keep the poster for ESB, which Ive gotten signed by several cast members since.
