From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Movie Prices Going Up: The $7.50 ticket may be coming soon to a theater near you. Cineplex Odeon Theaters, with the summer movie season about to start, has boosted ticket prices at its Los Angeles theaters to $7.50 from $7 for adults. The move brings the 50 Cineplex screens in Los Angeles in line with those the company operates in New York. Cineplex boosted its New York prices last year to $7.50 from $7. Cineplex officials blamed increased costs. The move is likely to be followed by other major theater chains, many of which charge $7 in major cities.
