To be honest, 35 bucks a little expensive for the 'experience' since you have to pay for food and drinks as extras (although they do bring it in to you whatever time you want). But it is great value if you go during the day on a weekday - its normally about 1/2 price. I though you guys would have had something like this already…

They charge $42 on a peak night (Sat) in Australia and it is always difficult to get in - people love it over there. Trust me, once you've gone to Gold Class you won't want to go back to normal cinemas. It's like flying first class and then having to go back to coach.

It's the whole ambience and experience that would make it worth it. Especially if you know you're going to see a highly anticipated movie, like Indiana Jones, Iron Man or Wanted. It'd make a great date! Even better if I didn't have to pay :-) Yes, I would pay that much to see a movie. It’s the whole ambience and experience that would make it worth it.

No, never will. I still think the prices now are too high. It's why I'm so picky about what I watch. If I miss it, I just wait for the DVD release. “Would You Pay $35 for a Movie Ticket?”

But $35 just to watch a movie in a Laz-E-Boy? Aren't those meant for napping in?? I'm not paying $35 to fall asleep halfway thru the movie! The Arclight in Hollywood has the nicest accommodations I've seen and they only charge like $5-6 more than regular theatres. I’d pay $35 for everything mentioned, including the valet, food and beer.

Six of their eighteen screens have either a balcony or an entire auditorium with huge, LazyBoy type chairs (not reclining) that are incredibly comfortable. All digital projection and sound, and every ticket is $15, which includes the film, valet parking and a bag of popcorn. Best of all? It's 21 and over. Their "concession stand" includes beer and wine, and you can order form the menu of the in-house restaurant run by the Levy Company (Cheesecake Factory). Considering it costs $10 to see a movie in Chicago with screaming hordes of tweens, most people I know consider paying $15 for super comfy chairs and superior viewing and listening - and getting popcorn and parking thrown in - to be quite a bargain. Would I pay more than TWICE as much just to put my feet up? Not a chance in hell. But as along as Muvico continues to deliver this kind of really satisfying movie experience, I'm there!
