The average cost of a movie ticket is the most expensive it has ever been.
According to reports, the average movie ticket price has increased to $8.61.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
The average cost of going to the cinema in the U.S. rose to $8.61 in the second quarter of 2015, the highest average ticket price to date.
It’s a 3.36 percent increase from 2014’s Q2 average of $8.33 and beats 2013‘s second quarter record-high of $8.38.
It’s also up from Q1 2015, which was $8.12. The increase is due to a big summer chock-full of 3D films and the growth of premium large format theaters.
The cost of a movie ticket isn’t stopping people from runing to the theaters. This year, Universal‘s ‘Jurassic World‘ has made over $612 million, ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, made $456 million and and ‘Furious 7‘ coming in third place with well over $400 million dollars in the U.S. box office.
