Americans last year spent an average of $9.87 billion on tickets alone. Americans who stayed home saved a lot of money‚ were more comfortable‚ and probably had just as good of a time. First of all‚ the financial aspects of going out to the movies are the most appalling factor when you consider the facts. On average‚ a person will go the
