My childhood predates the average person's private ownership of movies . As a child no one I knew owned anything other than home movies... The very idea of actually OWNING a copy of a movie would have been the height of opulence .... And back then, there was no way to play a 35mm movie without a 35 mm projector even if you could get your hands on a print
Hope Pizza Steve is doing well.
Is it true that movies were super cheap to watch back then? I've heard that that's partially the reason people would go watch the same movie multiple times, that and AC/socially.
Movies would also stay in theaters longer, sometimes multiple years. You would also see a lot more second runs. I'm not even that old but I used to get $1 tickets to the second run theater when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I don't think I've even seen a second run theater in the last decade.
The one in my hometown just went out of business 2 years ago due to the pandemic. It was $5 for adults, $3 for children under 14 and students of the local highschool if you present your student ID. They were an important part of the town, and practically everyone 2-3 towns over was talking about it when they closed.
Same, we had two in Metro Atlanta that were Covid Casualties
