<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fools_gold, post: 752440, member: 20669&quot;]Oh thank you, now I get it. Yeah I suppose that&#039;s a good question. Let me see if I can recall what I made as a teenage selling paint at a department store...I think I was making the min. wage of around $6.25 at the time. Heck, it might have actually been lower!? And I&#039;m pretty sure movie tickets were around $4.25.</p><p><br /></p><p>So at today&#039;s min. rate of $7.25 with movie tix at roughly $10, the wage hasn&#039;t caught up. But hasn&#039;t exactly taken off either, I still think it&#039;s in close range not to make too much of a big deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if we are talking $16-20 for a movie ticket down the road (not IMAX) and min. wage is still $7-8, then anyone on min. wage just simply can&#039;t catch up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;m not sure about this, but I&#039;m not fairly certain that high ticket prices are the result of inflation either. They could just be the movie studios paying top celebs way too much money for a film and making the people pay for it...</p><p><br /></p><p>Movies like 300, Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, The Passion of the Christ proves you can make very successful high grossing films without your Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis being in them...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
