For the first 10 days, Dreamgirls will be charging a whopping $25 for a ticket (and a souvenir program) at select theatres. Isn’t the price of seeing a movie too high these days anyway? That means as a couple, I would spend $50 to see Beyonce and Jamie Foxx do a little singing. I don’t know. I just don’t know. Who am I kidding? I haven’t been to the movies in AGES! The damn movie could be free and I still wouldn’t be able to go see it…. sigh!
First, the $6 cup of coffee – now brace yourself for the $25 movie ticket.That’s the record sum that will be charged to see “Dreamgirls” for the first 10 days of its theatrical run, beginning on Dec. 15. The highly anticipated film version of the 1981 Broadway musical about a singing group resembling the Supremes stars Beyoncé, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy.
It will be showing exclusively at the Ziegfeld in Manhattan, as well as at single theaters in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The $25 ticket buys a reserved seat, a 50-page color souvenir program and a look at a lobby exhibition of costume and set designs. (source)
