In response to "Here's the question...would you (or several thousand other people) have spent $13.75 to see Gone With the Wind?" by Jim

it's all relative. people paid the going rate for GWTW like people paid the going rate for Avatar

GWTW was easily the event Avatar is.

Responses:

in the 60s, people paid the going rate for a Ford Mustang ... and it was, what, $4500? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 06:56 3
- i'm not sure if that's agreeing or not agreeing. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 06:57 2
  - the ticket price is relative to the economy, that's what the inflation adjustments are for. - Beryllium Jan 28, 06:58 1
    - i think that's what i'm saying. that's my issue with a dollar-to-dollar comparison. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 06:59
Maybe-maybe not. Avatar can still be seen in 2D for $6-7. People are going out of their way to pay the $13.75 for it. - Jim Jan 28, 06:55 8
- AND...I don't think you can leave out how many more entertainment options there are now as compared to 1939. - Jim Jan 28, 06:56 2
  - If there was MW2 in 1939, no one would have ever left their mud shack. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 06:57 1

- $6? what planet are you from? :) 3D cost an extra dollar for me. That was it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 06:56 3
  - It's a $4 jump here compared to 2D, but it's only available at a pricier theater in this area. -- nm - Jelly Jan 28, 06:58
  - the cheapest movie here is $12, i think. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 06:57 1
    - It's either 10.95 or 11.95 here, I forget. Been a while since I actually paid for a ticket, rather than using a "Night Out" pass. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 06:59
- i would pay 17.95 (my Imax 3D cost) to see GWTW in 3D tomorrow. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 06:56
