As of March 25, studies have shown that movie theater ticket prices have increased, and will continue to increase as time goes on.

AMC, Regal Entertainment and Cinemark are among the movie theaters across the United States that have begun to drastically increase their prices for 3-D movies and even for regular movies.

In Mass., 3-D movie tickets at AMC went from $14.50 to $17.50. Also, if you were to see a 3-D Imax movie in a New York City AMC, you would pay $19.50, an increase from their previous $16.50 prices. For now, most movie theaters have caught on to increasing their 3-D prices, but are keeping regular movie ticket prices at around the same range as before, with a $1 or $2 price raise in various states.

AMC, Regal Entertainment and Cinemark have declined to comment on this price change, but their latest prices prove the increase. Also, the news of the increase has been all over the radio and television, as it will soon create quite a buzz among movie-goers, whether it results in an increase or a decrease in ticket sales.
