Cinema tickets at the only open-theatre AMC (currently) reportedly costs SAR75 per person and Saudis are complaining that it is too high and need to be reduced to meet their monthly limited incomes, reports say.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

AMC held its first private screening of Black Panther<\/a> a few days ago and are now allowing for pre-bookings through several online platforms. The current price at AMC is at 75 Saudi Riyals for a film, thus leading residents to take out concerns through a Twitter hashtag\u00a0#\u062a\u0630\u0643\u0631\u0647_\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0646\u0645\u0627_\u0667\u0665_\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0644<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hashtag (#\u062a\u0630\u0643\u0631\u0647_\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0646\u0645\u0627_\u0667\u0665_\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0644) says “The price of a cinema ticket is 75 riyals” <\/em>and people were all sorts of confused<\/h3>\n

Recurring phrases on sticking to Netflix or driving to Bahrain was one of Tweeps reactions.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Saudis living in other countries compared prices\u00a0<\/h3>\n

“In France, I pay a monthly fee of EUR 19 or about $75 for a card which allows me to enter unlimited cinema screenings.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
