@Alison: When I say Up at the Roseway they had a sign up explaining that they were forced to charge more by the distribution company, otherwise they would've just charged the usual seven bucks. Also, their popcorn is wicked good. And I hate popcorn usually.
@Reymont, Alison, and Graham: 3D tickets usually run a couple bucks more than normal tickets. Plus, the Roseway's a lot cheaper than most first-run and chain theaters--at the Roseway, normal films are always $7, regardless of showtime; 3D films are always $9.
Meanwhile, at Regal's Lloyd Cinemas (and I'm guessing this is true for most theaters owned by Regal Cinemas, but don't quote me on it), a normal nighttime ticket is $10, and a nighttime 3D ticket is $13.50.
So if you combine that price hike with the fact that (for now) it's impossible to bootleg 3D films, you can see why studios are so bullish about this 3D business. (BECAUSE THEY ARE GREEDY.)
