Via The Poor Man, it appears that this summer blockbuster season was the best-ever for Hollywood. Unsurprising, given the number of good-for-popcorn-movie flicks that came out (I note that Ocean's Thirteen didn't even scratch the top 10). But I was taken aback by the claim that "average ticket prices in 2004 [were] $6.21 versus $6.85 in 2007average ticket prices in 2004 was $6.21 versus $6.85 in 2007"). How can this be? I don't think I've paid $7 for a movie since 2003.
And I remember the good ol' days when Student Matinee tickets at North DeKalb were $3.75. Get off my lawn!
