Going to the movies has never been cheap with the prices of movie tickets, popcorn, parking and all the other costs related with the experience. Never the less, it is a fun experience. Sure, home theaters are making real inroads, but people still like to go to the theaters just for an outing.
If you’re one of the ultra rich in Tokyo, or for that matter, just an average Joe trying to really impress a girl, the curtains have opened at the new Tokyo theater called Shinjuku Piccadilly. What’s unique about this place is their platinum seating. For a mere $278 US per film, you can have the opportunity to view your favorite movie in luxury seating situated in a private box that contains Italian leather sofas and a quality surround sound system. Of course, at this price, you even have access to a private elevator and the use of a secluded waiting room prior to the start of the movie.
If you enjoyed watching the movie in style, you have the option of renting out the luxury box for an entire year by forking over $278,200. You see a lot of corporations purchasing boxes at sporting events, it almost seems as if the theaters are now starting to try and cash in on this lucrative revenue stream.
