----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I sent a message on rec.arts.movies, but got only a few answers. I am making a study on the international distribution of film. A question important: how much do you have to pay to see a film in an ordinary commercial theatre? I woold like to compare that for as many places as possible in the world, il all continents, in all the major cities (and also the little). I need an element of comparison. I suggest the time that a non specialised worker has to work to pay his ticket. As an example, here in Montreal, a janitor, a factory worker, a store clerk, a gas server... earns about 8 can$ (about 5 am $) for an hour of work, and he must pay 8 can$ for his movie ticket. A correspondant of New-Zealand suggest that i take the price of a Big Mac as an indicator! (in his country, the movie ticket is worth 9 Big Macs; quite expensive!) All answers will be appreciated. In a few weeks, if a have got many answers, i will make a summary for this group Yves Lever, Montreal
