How expensive is it where you are? I’m not in the west and cinema costs me USD 5-10. Which means I can easily watch one or two every week

I feel similar and here I pay about 11€ for a movie, 14€ if it’s 3D (which most available viewings are) and any popcorn and drink is also overpriced. Though I would say I could afford it technically, the bigger factor for me avoiding the cinema is the other people. I had too many shitty experiences in my life with people hitting my seat, being loud, being ill and coughing the whole movie, stinky people, etc

I used to have a subscription for about ~17 a month, all 2D shows were free, 3D cost a couple bucks and discounts on IMAX. Also discounts on food.

AMC A List is good if you want to see at least two movies a month. A group of friends and I all have it and we see movie once a week.

Where I live it's not crazy expensive, but it's definitely not throwaway money, though if the price is a consideration, it's probably better image and sound quality than what you can get at home (assuming it's a nice one, I have one in my city that has awful audio)
