AMC Theater Movie Prices Escalated!

I was in line to purchase my ticket to see "The Proposal" for tonight and the girl told me $10.00! I was like,"isn't the price $9.50?" She was like , well the price changed and went into effect this morning actually! I was like holy crap! Then she went on to tell me that the Monday-Thursday prices all day went up from $4.75 to $5.00

Then if u see a movie on a Friday-Sunday between 9am-3:55pm-it costs $7.25 and after 4pm- and even $10.00!! IMAX movie prices are already expensive and I can only bet how much they have gone up! I am so glad that I experienced Night at the Museum 2 in IMAX, because it will be the last time I ever go up in there-with or without a damn job! This is so ridiculous! I mean, now the economy is is taking entertainment away from us. I hate to say this-but if prices on things keep going up, I am so terrified that people will resort to deviant behavior and crimes will b committed in order to have what they once loved, but cannot afford anymore due to the drastic change in the economy!!!
