From The Guardian:

At about a dozen National Amusements Inc. theaters around the country, some auditoriums have been fitted with extra-wide, VIP leather seats - no arm-rest sharing here - and private concession stands. Some other theater chains offer valet parking and fine dining - all at a higher price.

The theater extras add from $2 to double the price of a regular ticket. The average cost of a ticket was $6.21 in 2004.

I’d happily pay double if they guaranteed no popcorn, no items with noisy wrappers, in fact no food at all, no phones, no babies, no idiots, no discussing the film — while it’s still fooooooking playing you caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants.

In fact I’m just going to stay home.
