How much did it cost to see a movie in 1939?


How much did it cost to see a movie in 1939? The average ticket price in 1939, when Gone with the Wind hit theaters, was 23 cents. My Avatar ticket cost $10.50. That's 45-times more expensive! As Slate's Zachary Pinkus-Roth noted, this would be comparing somebody's 100-yard sprint time to a 2.22-yard jump.
