George Harrison shelled out $3M so Monty Python could make the uber-classic The Life of Brian and famously explained why by simply saying, "I really want to see the movie."
Apparently you can rent out an entire movie theater for yourself for only $99, which this guy gives the two thumbs up:
That’s where you’ll have to make a decision. It costs $299 for a new release, and as stir crazy as I am, I’m not shelling out enough money for a Hamilton ticket to watch Croods: A New Age. But for a more reasonable $99, they’re opening the theater at matinee times for old classics, and that’s a pretty good deal even if we spent another $59 on concessions.
Our movie was School of Rock, which was released in 2003. We had all seen it, but the movie itself was largely irrelevant. The novelty was being in the theater again. Stale popcorn! Broken cup holders! Complaining about the ear-drum-piercing volume!
Look, I don’t want to oversell this. We’ve reached the point where any chance to put on pants without an elastic waist feels like you have a back-stage pass for The Beatles at Shea Stadium in ‘65. It’s a lot of money for a movie that you could see 81 different ways for free, and clearly, a luxury that not everyone can afford.
I'd say that's a great price to pay to rent the whole place, but then the last time I was at a movie theater it was pretty much empty.
