Seattle #19: Quick movie releases, live TV, and cinema prices

2/2/2018

I can watch Game of Thrones live at the comfortable time of 6pm Sunday, and not have to avoid the internet for a day for fear of OH MY GOD THEY JUST KILLED OFF ARYA STARK!!!!

As for movies, a popular past-time for people (locals and ex-pats) in Japan is to complain about how much later a popular movie is going to be released there, usually 3-6 months. I've even had friends post angry Facebook screenshots of release schedules. Apparently it's so they can market a movie as ""Number 1 in the USA!" You can read more about the reasons here.
Australia, in my youth, used to be the same, but has since gotten much better. 

Movie tickets are also much cheaper in the US. According to
 WorldAtlas.com, USA is $8.13, the UK $10.90, Japan $12.77, and Australia $12.95. However, these are national averages. I lived in Edinburgh, Tokyo and Perth, all expensive capital  cities, and are therefore even more expensive. I also currently pay even less in the US because I use Moviepass which is $10/month for unlimited movies. Yet another reason I love living in the US - experimental business models.

    About this blog

    Musings, frustrations and wonderment from an Australian who moved to the US having never visited the country before. 

    ​This is the fifth country I have lived in in five years, and if I've learned one thing, it's that every place has its pros and cons.
