I wouldn't know for the old ones, I was too young to see most movies in
theatres. :) However, The release of TPM didn't change ticket prices outright
around here. In fact, most places seem to have stayed the same. Then again,
the only theatres I've been to recently are ones with fixed prices and brand
new ones, so I can't be sure.

Interestingly, Anime prices are cheaper at my local Electronics Boutique than
they are at my local Suncoast Video. And, you're right, its still considered a
specialist market, even with the release of Princess Mononoke in theatres. I
think Laputa would've done better; luckily they're considering a theatrical
release for that too!

Shinesman. Both are hilarious!!
