Old thread, but I had to revisit a comment I made a while back. Just saw Sweeney Todd at Arclight, and basically.....WOW. Charles brought it up a long while back, and I absolutely agree. This was the first theater experience I've ever had where I can say it surpassed my home system. Stunning cinematography and sound design, presented every bit as it was intended. I'm now lucky enough to live in close proximity to an Arclight theater, I just hope the entire rest of the world eventually gets to share a similar experience before the entire industry shifts towards home viewing exclusively.

If ticket prices are the problem, maybe they need to make movies that cost less?

Not that it would matter: Blair Witch Project cost $40,000 - tickets were still the same price as any other movie.
