Catching up on movies

So in one of my previous posts, I mentioned that I saw Night at the Museum 2. Well, it turns out that in a week’s span, I ended up watching three more movies: Up, Angels & Demons (which I keep instinctively try to type as “daemons”) and The Hangover. All three movies were actually good (reviews coming up soon), but this isn’t what this post is about.

I ended up going to three different movie theaters, two AMC Lowes, one United Artists (according to Fandango, it is actually owned by the Regal Entertainment Group), and the last owned by National Amusements. Three in New York, one in New Jersey. The quality level of all four movie theaters varied, but the biggest thing was that the prices of all four theaters were different. First I’m going to list off the prices:

Regal Entertainment - $11/adult (Night at the Museum 2)
National Amusements * - $14.75/adult (Up)
AMC Lowes (NY) - $11/adult (Angels & Demons)
AMC Lowes (NJ) $10/adult (The Hangover)

*Here’s the caveat, Eric & I saw Up in 3D, so the price was higher. The normal price for the “normal” seats are $10.75, but the “director hall” seats are $13.75.
