At this point, I would pay to see that. And by pay, I mean I have a friend who works at the local Regal cinema in the mall who lets me in for free when he's working at night.
I'm curious and confused about this.

I'd not pay to see that by walking straight into our movie theater that has no ticket takers or ushers most of the time.

That doesn't surprise me. Movie Theaters are not in the movie business, they are in the Candy/Snack/Soda business. They make very little money on selling tickets, (Theaters usually only get 20%-30%) but a huge profit at the Snack Bar. (5 cents of soda that they charge $3 for.) So, security isn't as huge an issue, because they may have loss a dollar at the gate, but still make a fortune at the snack bar.

A dollar? It's eight bucks a ticket.

Not from me. In winter particularly, where I have access to my trenchcoat. I'm like a black market watchdealer. The only things you can't really sneak in are nachos and popcorn. Fortunately, popcorn is greasy and not very tasty, and nachos have never been movie food to me anyway.

Not that I would ever see this movie, but my friends are all jobless so we get around 5-6 people together have 2 people buy tickets which always includes me and someone else. Then we just take our stubs out and get them in one by one. Yea its a long process especially if the theatre is at the far end of the theatre, but we've only had one person not make it in and thats because we forgot about him.
