$35 is not just for movie, but apparently it includes reserved seating, chairs with footrests, valet parking, concierge service and a bar that serves cocktails and appetizers, etc. BUT the $35 movie ticket won't buy you a better movie.:p

$35 movie tix could be in the picture
The Hollywood Reporter

Get ready for the $35 movie ticket. That's the estimated price of tickets for a new deluxe cinema to open this year in suburban Chicago, one of 50 U.S. multiplexes set for construction during the next five years through a new, $200 million joint venture headed by Australian entertainment conglomerate Village Roadshow.

The planned theaters will boast boosted amenities, including plush reserved seating, special parking privileges and upscale food and beverage offerings with seat-side waiter service.

Some or all of those offerings are available at existing deluxe cinemas in select U.S. markets that charge $20 or less for movie tickets. But Gold Class auditoriums will feature a 40-seat-maximum patron capacity and an even higher-end atmosphere, officials said.

"It's an absolutely different environment than anything else that exists," Village Roadshow CEO Graham Burke said.

Village Roadshow Gold Class Cinemas also plans to open a site in Redmond, Wash., by year's end, with about 20 additional sites planned for rollout by 2010.

"The demand for luxury moviegoing in the U.S. is very strong," said Kirk Senior, CEO of the new Burbank, Calif.-based joint venture. Companies partnering with Village Roadshow in the joint venture include Act III Entertainment, a company co-owned by Norman Lear and Hal Gaba; Michael Lambert's Lambert Entertainment; and the Retirement Systems of Alabama, a pension investment fund.

Village Roadshow operates more than 100 Gold Class screens in Australia, Singapore and Greece, part of its roughly 500-screen worldwide theater circuit.

I read this story the other day... don't think I would ever pay that much even with food included.

I think I would try it once; but that's it. And it would still have to be a damn good movie and something that I've been waiting to see.

hmmm... yeah... now that I think about it. It could be cool for an opening night of a really big movie, like if they had done it back when the third LOTR came out, I might have considered it.

Yeah see I would do it for the new Batman movie or something. Plus it will cut down on the chance of someone that is talking on a phone or children running around. But still it would have to be a movie I'm really looking forward too.

If this were an indie theater that would be awesome. I'm talking a theater that had tables where you can sit anc enjoy your food. That would be so awesome. I'd do it if the meal was included and it was good. The movie could be anything. They have these types of establishments in France as well as Italy.

I thought Tomcat wrote the meal was included?

The article I read said the meals weren't included. I've done something like this before. Buckhead Backlot does this and it costs the same amount as a normal ticket. There are tables with pretty comfortable chairs although not recliners. There are also small lights (like in the aisle of theaters) so you can see what you are actually eating. It's pretty fun and the food isn't too expensive.

I may pay this much only if there's a movie I care enough about AND the theater management guarantee that there will be nobody using cell phone, talking or eating loud, or no crying baby. I also think waiter/waitress constantly walking around to serve food/drink during the movie can be annoying too.

Anyway, there are planning to build in Illinois, Washington, Texas and Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New York. If you are interesed to see what it looks like, you can take the gold class tour on the company's website here. http://www.villagecinemas.com.au/goldclass/

I thought Tomcat wrote the meal was included?

I thought at least appetizers were included, but according to the more detailed article, you have to pay extra....sorry. :(

"the circuit will especially push its culinary offerings -- made-to-order meals like sushi and other theater-friendly foods from on-site chefs (a service button at each seat calls a waiter). Moviegoers will have to pay extra for any food they order, however."

See, I would only do it if I have seen the movie once before and think it's good enough enjoy it again. There are too many distractions to actually see the movie. You pay $35 for everything else except seeing the movie... with waiters walking in and out and whatnot.... Why would I ever want to pay $35 to take away my attention and concentration from the screen? Besides, with more services, there bound to be some obnoxious assholes who would do something else, especially with some alcohol involved. If they think they pay $35, I guarantee they would talk on cellphones, text message, bring infants, or even have sex in the theater.
This maybe good for folks who care less about the film and more about an experience. It just won't work for me. I want to be able to listen to every word, watch every detail, every corner of the fim on the screen. I want to able to treat the theater as a temple or a royal castle with silence and respect towards a great film.

I hate having to pay the regular prices for tickets, there is no way I would spend $35! It just is not worth it, I have a great sound system and an ok TV, if it came to spending $35 or watching at home, I am staying home.

I would never pay $35 to see a movie of any kind it's not that serious, if it came to that I would stay at home and watch tv and wait for the dvd. If something like that happened bootleg DVD's would really go through the roof worse than what it is now.

I think that the price of movies and movie snacks is getting a bit out of hand. I understand they want to make a profit but if you sit down and consider the mark-up for concessions, its bordering obscene. You can wind up paying more for concessions that you do for the tickets for you and your date. Unless there is some unspoken cost for showing a movie, I'm having a hard time swallowing the steady raise in prices these days.

Are the drinks and food included in the $35 you mentioned they can provide this option but is it included? I can't see playing $35 for seating, parking, & ticket only.

I can't see myself paying $35 to see a movie, it is hard taking a woman out on a date without breaking the bank. If you have it to spend, hey do your thing big shot. I just stay home and watch Direct TV on the big screen.

I just heard about it on the radio and I wasn't quite sure. It was the same time I heard about the $2000 seats at the braves game ...

those were the announcements that made me realise .. while there might be a recession .. some people are still doing very very very very very very very well ...

but .. if you have enough money to pay for those seats and you want a private comfortable experience... wouldnt you just watch it at home in your basement?

Why not -- everyone is trying to get in on the public rip off -- the Oil Gurus are getting away with it -- why not everyone else. If we had any elected officials that actually spoke for those that elected them - we might be in better shape... If we didn't have people like Shakefire that get us free screenings -- we would probably be looking for a tin cup.

Although I personally wouldn't be likely to pay $35, I can see that it would be a really nice date idea to be able to avoid the crowds, lines, kids, etc. Surely with the 40-person limitation of the viewing area, cell phone and talking problems could/would be handled by managers promptly to ensure a great experience for all. That would be the way I would hope to see it. In Charlotte I can definitely see lots of folks paying this much. The richer folks are willing to pay for perks, depending on what other theaters in town look like. Just my 2 cents (wait, price just went up--$1.00).

I did this while I was in Sydney this January (spend 3 weeks in a city visiting family and you run out of stuff to do/see). Anyway, thought it would be a novel idea to check it out atleast once & it was worth it. When we got there, there was a line of atleast 30 people waiting to buy tickets & we walked up to a 'gold' line, kind of like VIP at a club or first class at the airport.

The theater was very plush and the seats were really comfortable. I personally never had an issue with a waiter or anyone disturbing me during the movie as truthfully I didn't see one after the trailers were over (yes you still have trailers). The seating was far apart from each other enough to where even if someone was talking unless they were speaking loudly, you wouldn't hear them.

Anyway, it was pretty nice & a decent enough way to watch a movie. For the record (not condoning this) but after Cloverfied (movie we paid for in Gold Class), we snuck into a random movie that was starting. That theater (don't know about all) didn't have names of the movies that were playing, or start times outside the theater. It was simply a number outside the door so you didn't know what was playing. The film turned out to be Juno, which I thought was better than Cloverfied.

With gas prices going up and the economy looking grim I don't think anyone but the rich will want to pay that kind of dough for a movie experience. You can buy about 3 dvds for that and watch them in the comfort of your own home with no annoyances. And now that wide screen HD tvs are popular it just seems nicer to stay at home.

They being people who can afford to throw money away. You can already see this taking affect now. Visit the movies on the rich/nice side of town and then visit the movies anywhere else in town and you will see the difference right way. No matter what city or state. I am not one to waste money on anything (ok ok, I AM CHEAP) but I must admit, I would go once or twice a year if it were available. I SAY BRING IT ON!:rocks:

"Curiosity killed the cat". I think that would be my sole reason for going. And after I know what it's like, I probably wouldn't go back. I would need a front row seat, if for nothing else, just to keep the waiters out of my way.

Well SS -- I hadn't thought about discounts, but what a great idea for those of us that have reached past our formative years and are into the enjoying life mode... I think a lot of my DVDs would be rewatched and then the theatres would be in worse shape. They were already nervous about DVD and BlueRay - this would probably do it ...:rocks:

The best deal is still the Entertainment book. You can usually get one for $18 and free shipping, then get at least 12 coupons good for admission for 2 for $6 each, so it pays for itself after 3 movies. The only thing is you can't use it in the first 10 days after release for big movies, but for that much savings, I can wait :)

For $35 you better get more than dinner and a freakin movie. They better throw in a whole lot more! If this was like some fancy pants restarant with a decent chef it MIGHT be worth it once in a while if everything were included, but come on I can not imagin somethin like this being a big success. Most people here that have that kind of cash to throw down on a movie have inhome theathers and get private screenings there!

It would have to be a high end establishment simply for the fact that food businesses are the higher risk businesses. So, you'd think that with the theater charging so much and offering dinner they would also include better security and a much more personalized enviornment. To actually sit through one film where someone isn't kicking the back of my chair, using their cellphone, or coming in with a cold; I'd pay $35 for that. Besides if there is a new movie coming out on DVD my family and I usually hold a get together and spend just as much on food and drinks anyway. Why not get that experience at the theater for a films premiere?

I went to a theater recently that seat wise wasn't bad, there was two seats then a table, and on like that, and there was so much leg room...was amazing, but still, a huge group of students came in and made a huge amount of noise at the beginning of the movie until security came in and kicked them out, and there was something sticky and gross on the table, but i didn't pay $35 for that movie

Lol not $35 per person but you add up all the stuff we buy, the prep time, the subscription fee for Netflix. Our get togethers are an awesome thing considering we have like almost thirty people in our family (and more coming soon). Trust me when I say that certain movies would merit the $35 per person ticket plus dinner. cough cough Potter! :D

All I can say is bootlegging would be at a all time high, wrong to say b/c we need to support good art but 35$ for a ticket that's gas for the week.:eek:

I think those morons out there that buy and watch bootleg copies of films aren't really the types of cinephiles the theaters will be catering to and for me thats another plus. If you want to see a film like Iron Man on some shitty tv with bad sound and bad picture you deserve what you get. There is only one way to see a film and thats at the theater. The ambiance of the audience, the smell of popcorn, the unified laughter and sometimes screams, the out loud conversations with the big screen when you've found yourself sitting in a bad film and the comradere you find with the people around you when they to start heckling said bad film. There is so much to love about going to the theater and for me a higher end atmopshere suits me fine. Let the idiot bootleggers sit in their messy apartments with their friends while those of us out there that would enjoy this kind of thing enjoy it.

My movie experiences would be somewhat lacking if the cost become $35 dollars. I just don't think it would be worth my time when I could read a more interesting book. I love movies don't get wrong, but I won't ever be able to afford that price per person even with added amenities. Let's hope that day doesn't come in my lifetime.

it would become a whole lot more difficule to justify going to the movies if it cost that much. i think i'd have to see a couple movies inorder to feel like i got my money's worth

I actually had a friend that went to the IMAX theater here by the Mall of GA and paid $70 for him and his wife to the see movie and to get a bag of popcorn. I don't know about anybody else, but I think I could find a few other things I could with $70, like maybe put a half tank of gas in my car.

Thats just bad money managment skills right there. How you get suckered into paying that much for two movie tickets and a popcorn is beyond me. I would have just told my wife if were going to spend that much lets just go out to dinner and forget the movie. Hence my approval for dinner and a movie for $35 a piece.

Ya i know it is so much money when you consider you can stay home and rent the movie. Renting allows you the option to talk, stop, rewind, and all kinds of good stuff like that. You may also invite as many frients over as you want to to see it free. Then the next Friday go to their house or something. Some movies are best on the big screen I think; we need to catch those later in the season at the discount theatres or matinee or something.
Paying that much is CRAZY it's not like the movie is a live play or something. Geeze people come on!!!:(

I agree that paying that much is crazy. Back 20 years ago, going to the movies was such a cool way to experience a movie in a different way that you couldn't at home. Now, with the advent of blu-ray, surround sound, large TVs etc the only reason to go to the movies is to see something sooner or because the crowd adds something (like horror or comedy). If I'm paying $35 then I might as well go see a play or musical!
