***We may complain about ticket prices - now up to $10-14 in Los Angeles, but try and make your own version of "Solaris" at home!Well, the truth is the *good* Solaris was made on a shue-string budget.
No need to justify the $14 ticket - theaters have the right to charge as much as they want, as long as the idiots go there. As it is, there are no victims in that process, as no one is forcing anyone to watch bad movies - people do it perfectly voluntarily.
The great majority of good films are not this expensive, and frankly I would not pay even one cent to watch those that you mentioned, but of course I don't set the prices.
Those people you mention get their pay because there is someone willing to give them money. How much money exchanges hands between them - I don't care one bean. It is free market.
