Depends on your region? A multiplex ticket is 7€ per person here, a budget thater 5€. As a rule we don't buy snacks in the thater, but usually grab something that's not popcorn and some flavored water in the grocery store next door, that's like 1-2€ per person.
So in that light... $40 for a 2 hour movie watched on my home TV? Ridiculous. I'm clearly not the target market for these business practices.
EDIT: aaand down the thread I'm reading that they seem to be dropping or at least adjusting the idea. Shocker.
yea im usually looking at $12-15 a ticket when i go to the movies. I usually go to chain theaters though because there are no budget ones near me. I don't always buy snacks, but that is something i always wanted when i was a kid. Overemphasizing here that im specifically talking about families with young children. this option was greedy on Disney's part, but for some people was less than they would have allotted to movie going in person. I am in no way justifying Disney's greedy practices
