  4. Terrifier 3

  5. Between the Temples

  6. Mickey 17

  17. Train Time

  18. Mufasa: The Lion King

Throughout this project, the average cost for one ticket, popcorn, and soda was $34.18. For two tickets, one popcorn, and one soda, it was $46.30.

Yes, going to the movies is expensive. Generally, I don’t buy food when I go, as that’s what really adds to the cost. Watching a movie in theaters is an unparalleled experience. If we don’t support them, we could eventually lose this invaluable form of escapism.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did creating it. Getting to see many theaters, I normally would’ve never gone to was fun. Some nice surprises and disappointments. The biggest surprise was B&B Overland Park 16. It’s one of the coolest theaters in KC and if you have the ability you should check it out.

If anything, keep going to the movies! Especially support your local theater!
