It all sounds like the standard LucsaFilm BS. However there is some truth in people not going as much. I don't know about you, but the movies I usually want to see are limited release. So I need to drive an hour and a half to Hollywood, then the theater charges $9.75. The only way I can justify paying that is that I am a film student, and I can only hope that people will come and do the same for my movies when I release them. If theaters charged $7.00 a movie, I'd be a little more likely to pay it, and if they charged $5.00 a movie I would definately go more than twice as much.

Geez, get so defensive. Now I know why Mac users are so made fun of.
For everyone else:
not all Mac Users are this defensive!
... Wait, that was kinda a defensive action.
