I thought I might go over to Regal Cinemas in Newington to see Voyage of the Dawntreader or perhaps Deathly Hallows. I had a little cash and a lot of spare time. But here's the thing...
Regal Cinemas in Newington is the only theater around for miles now that the theater on Lafayette is closed, so is the one in Hampton (we totally needed another chain drugstore) and the promised Epping one has not yet materialized. The Ioka, of course, no longer shows first run movies or basically, any movies at all. There's a Cinemagic in Amesbury but then you have sales tax. There's one in Barrington...
Regal Cinemas knows they're the only choice. It's why their matinee prices are two dollars more than the agreed upon norm. Seriously, the last time I went to a matinee there, I was disappointed that they didn't have matinee prices. Oh, apparently they do, their discount comes out to what all other theaters call "the normal price".
In the Manchester/Derry area, there are like four or five theaters and they all have an average matinee price of $5 and an evening price of $7.50.
I'm not going to make it to Derry in time for the movie and be other places I have to be today.
I can pay the Newington price, but do I want to?
Cinemagic is coming to Greenland!
ReplyDeleteYES! Cinemagic isn't cheap but it should provide a little competition at least.
