Wow, rich friend.
Movie tickets aren't cheap, and I certainly don't pay to look at a 4 inch screen in my lap. B
Then again, I don't have a rich benefactor that buys out whole theaters.
He's the owner of the gym i go to.
And a bit of a geek too.
It cost just a hair over £6000/$9500 to buy out an entire auditorium, and does this a lot. Sometimes it's for corporate reasons(He owns several large businesses in town), and other times it's for films like this that he loves. He owns the gym, an acountancy company, an IT consultancy, a gas installation firm and a construction company.
To date, i have seen Thor, TFA, TDKR, Avengers Assemble, IM3, Man Of Steel and Thor:TDW as a guest of his.
Keep in mind this is a guy who owns two brand new Bentleys(Both of which he replaces on a 6-month basis when the new registrations come out), one black with white leather interior, and one white with black leather interior, in addition to twelve other "runabout" daily cars, the cheapest of which is a top of the line Range Rover.
I am always glad to see the latest marvel movie with him.
