On one hand, people want nothing more than to escape from reality for a couple of hours and will pay just about anything to do so. On the other hand, trips in a car have to be thought out by some folks at this point, balanced against whether to get the brand name corn flakes or the off-brand. I suspect this flock of films will do quite well regardless of the cost of attending a film. As for me, I long ago traded in my love of the cinema for the boob tube and am a prisoner of prime-time television, even in the summer. One note - Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man jumps the shark for me as far as who has street cred to play superheroes. Will Carrot Top be the next Marvel Comics cinema star?
