Last one I saw was Alice in Wonderland (GREAT movie BTW), and I think it was around $20 per ticket while the average cost of a non-3D ticket is $9.50. A **** movie is still going to be **** if you see it in 3D or not (I'm not saying this movie is **** as I haven't seen it yet, I'm just speaking in general).
20 dollars?!!! holy crap thats crazy. over here 3D movies are just 2 or 3 dollars more than the 2D counterpart so they're around 12 or 13 dollars. if 20 bucks is a common price point around the world, no wonder people complain about the prices and no wonder hollywood keeps doing it to make more money.
i would literally refuse to see any 3D movie if i had to pay 10 dollars more...damn. i guess canada is good for something after all. lol
I refuse to see movies in 3D usually, but Alice in Wonderland was an exception due to the fact the 3D really wasn't popping out of the screen, it seemed to add more depth to the mid-ground and background which was pretty neat.
Anyway, why else do you think Michael Bay was so adamant about getting us to see it on a high quality 3D screen in the thank you letter he wrote? He's probably getting a cut of theater sales, and if we all follow like the sheep he thinks we are, his pockets get deeper due to people thinking the 3D adds so much to a movie when it could end up detracting. I have a feeling DotM is like this just because of how the last two were filmed.
Then again, the price could just be because I live in Florida, or as the rest of the US knows it, "Heaven's Waiting Room".

Hehe, true enough. Its kind of annoying coz if you want to see it in Ultra AVX, you have to see it in 3D. But they do have normal theatres with Digital projectors for 2D, so thats good, and its normal cost.
Is this movie also being shown on a digital 2D projector in addition to the standard projector? I LOVE those things, saw the first Twilight in a theater with a digital projector and was just in love with how clear the picture was. Went to a "higher quality" theater *coughcough*Regal*coughcough* and they only showed TF1 and 2 on the standard projector. Suffice to say, the dirt and film scratches were annoyingly visible.
