Is it true that movies were super cheap to watch back then? I’ve heard that that’s partially the reason people would go watch the same movie multiple times, that and AC/socially.

Movies would also stay in theaters longer, sometimes multiple years. You would also see a lot more second runs. I’m not even that old but I used to get $1 tickets to the second run theater when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I don’t think I’ve even seen a second run theater in the last decade.
