The Hollywood Reporter says that an Australian entertainment company called Village Roadshow is constructing the first of 50 planned multiplexes that will offer a “premium” moviegoing experience. The theater, which is being built in a suburb of Chicago, will offer valet parking, reserved seating, table service, AND a $35 ticket price…and that DOESN’T include the popcorn.
Because nothing says “exclusive” like shelling out four times as much as everybody else to see the EXACT SAME MOVIE.
Hmmm… if I rent the movie, I don’t even need to park or reserve a table. I think the comfort of my home is what I would call “premium” movie going experience. Only we all get to watch the same movie for one price! ;)
