What? There is hardly any inflation on a movie ticket. How much did you pay for a movie in 1997 dollars? Probably a little bit less than what your paying today. But keep in mind that most theaters are charging $3-5 more for the 3D effect as well, so that can't be attributed to inflation. Apples to apples next time.
