2023-08-21
As reported by China News Network, with each well-received film hitting the screens, this year's summer box office is witnessing both critical acclaim and impressive ticket sales. However, behind the escalating movie box office numbers, discussions about the continuous rise in movie ticket prices have been ongoing.
"Why is the cost of watching movies so high?" "Where did the $19.9 discounted tickets disappear to?"
Statistics from a certain data platform reveal that, as of August 20th, the average movie ticket price for 2023 has soared to $42.7. Since entering the $40 range in 2021, movie ticket prices have seen a continuous increase for three consecutive years. Moreover, compared to cities in the second, third, and fourth tiers, movie ticket prices in first-tier cities are noticeably higher. After surpassing the $50 mark in 2022, the average ticket price in first-tier cities for 2023 has reached an even higher $51.9. Some experts attribute the reason for the surge in movie ticket prices to reduced online platform subsidies, rising production costs, and increased service fees.
