Given the feast or famine scheduling of my local movie theatre, it probably averages out to about once a month.
Downtown, it costs about 8 or 9€; nearby I buy a pass of 7 tickets for 33€.

thanks for the replies, everyone....
it's interesting to see the costs around the world. ignoring the exchange rates, 16 for a movie ticket sounds really expensive....

in the last ten years, average about 35-40 movies per year at the theater. We rent others either at video stores or off premium cable PPV.
At the theaters, cost is $3 to $14 at regular thaters, we use coupons available at $8.50.
Arthouses are $10 CDN but have the best and cheapest popcorn, one has the best seats.

Pricewise -it varies as I go to cinema in Sweden and in Poland. In Sweden SEK 90 (=€ 8.50 now, 10.50 a few months ago), in Poland about half that price.

Fallacy. Surely you don't believe that someone who earns US $50K/yr in the US would receive £50K in the UK (=US $75K) for the same job or 50K yen in Japan (=US $550) ?
If NZ$16 is US $8, then that's the price of the ticket.

no, i don't. the question is, do the kiwis find it expensive?
imagine by the same token, an indobesian say, nz$16, wow, that's expensive!! (= idr 99228.00)....

Looking over the past three years I go twice a year and half of those times were for the children. In shekels we pay here in Israel but the equivalent is USD $7.50.
For me the oddity is I love being in the movie theater but a tad less if that theater is in Israel. Yet for some reason I never make it to the movies. For my family it isn't an issue of money per se it's just that we are so unplugged from the info highway as to what's playing here. I think when we lived in the States we saw movies advertised on TV and that's how we became aware of what we next wanted to see but here in Israel we don't have commercials but on a few stations and none that I watch any how. So I guess the difference for us is that in America we were waiting with anticipation for the next Tom Cruise movie where here we get the urge to see a film we call and find out what's playing and usually hang up the phone with no interest left to see what's being shown.
