Last week there was a big story in the San Jose Mercury-News because the AMC-Mercado went to $9/adult.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, the usual price is around $8. The Sony Metreon charges $8.50, with a $5.50 matinee and $5.25 for seniors.

We charge $7.50 for adults after 5, with children 2-14 and seniors at $5.00. Before 5, everyone is $5.00

For popcorn (no refills):

small (30 oz) = $2.25
medium (85 oz) = $3.25
large (130 oz) = $4.00

For Cokes (no refills):

small (16 oz) = $2.00
medium (24 oz) = $2.50
large (32 oz) = $3.00

Candies go from $1.25 (Hot Tamales) to $2.50 (Lindt Swiss Chocolate bars).

What do you charge, and where is your theatre?

Thanks!

Our prices tend to be lower than our competitions (The most outrageous is $5.50 for a 170 oz popcorn at the new 14 plex - all stadium & digital). We don't have a kiddie or combo deal - which annoys some of our senior customers. Our percap hovers around $1.50 - we are trying to get it to $1.65 but the mix of movies we are playing greatly affects the per cap.

By the way, how are things at the Grand Lake - its a great theatre.

No ice cream here either. But we just added cheese-filled hot pretzels, which are a big hit.

To Ky and everyone else, when you come to visit, introduce yourself. I work Friday to Monday at the theatre and temp elsewhere the rest. I'm sure Stephan, the shop steward, Randy, and Justin (our 100% union operators) would be pleased to meet you.
