Wyoming’s A Great State To Go To See A Movie

Heading to the movie theater to catch the latest Hollywood flick isn't as cheap as it used to be. You're paying even more if you have a big family, and they like popcorn, candy, and soda.

The price of a movie ticket has more than doubled in the past 25 years, but luckily, we live in a state where those tickets are the most affordable in the US. The average movie ticket in Wyoming is just $9.10, the lowest price in the country.

The next closest price is in Michigan, where ticket prices average $9.99. South Dakota's average is $10.57 per ticket, and Montana's is $10.90.

It's still not overly cheap to head to the movie theaters in Wyoming, but it is nowhere near as expensive as states like New York ($15.83), Georgia ($15.32), or Massachusetts ($14.91) per ticket.

Including the price of snacks and drinks, the average Wyoming moviegoer spends at least $20 per trip to the movie theater. Breaking it down even more, it takes the average Wyomingite working about 25 minutes to afford just the movie ticket.

In places like Tennessee, you'd have to work 45.29 minutes to afford a movie ticket. If you went to the concession stand, you'd almost have to take out a loan to buy snacks.

So, we are fortunate in Wyoming to have somewhat reasonable prices for entertainment.
