My money would be better spent on a bet that this theater won't last long at Redmond Town Center ...
Quoted: Would you pay $35 for a movie ticket, plus extra for popcorn?
What if it guaranteed no one could kick your seat?
An Australian theater chain opening in Redmond this fall is betting affluent audiences will pay three times the typical ticket price for plush, reclining seats equipped with call buttons for service, allowing them to order gourmet food, wine and cocktails from the theater's restaurant.
Village Roadshow Gold Class Cinemas will open at Redmond Town Center in October, replacing the AMC theater that closed earlier this year. ...
Exclusivity is key. Each of the eight auditoriums will have wide screens but no more than 40 seats arranged in pairs with ample legroom. The theater's restaurant and lounge will be open only to moviegoers. An online booking service will enable people to choose their seats; valets will park their cars.
The theater will offer some matinees, Burke said, with admission discounted to $20 or $25.

You must be Kristen's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Yeah, the price is high, but other people in the theater is why I don't like going to the movies anymore. It might be worth it, especially if somebody will bring me a $5 pepsi at the press of a button. Nice!
I think there's definitely enough money in the area to support that sort of garish movie watching - and even people who don't go to the theater often might go if they REALLY wanted to see the movie without the distraction of people yelling at the screen.
