How about $100 for a cinema ticket? If you think that is greed, then the only difference between you and them is that you differ on the number. If the ticket was $5 who's to say ten times as many people would watch? Also, it assumes everything is equal. You might not mind paying $10 for a good movie, but unfortunately most movies are complete shit. That's theft, ripping people off with an overpriced, substandard product.
Plus I'm pretty sure cinemas make their money on the overpriced popcorn and coke. Shit even Murdoch complained about it.
