They also offer some of the best deals in town.
Research from the National Association of Theater Owner's shows that the average U.S. ticket price in 2018 was $9.11.
Here's a breakdown of ticket prices at different movie theaters:
The Vista or the Los Feliz Theater: $9.50
AMC or a Regal Cinema: $14
Arclight: $16

iPic: $32.
The Vista only has the capacity to screen one movie at a time but unlike other vintage theaters, it shows brand new movies.
"It's such a historic, beautiful LA theater, and you know the ticket prices kind of help with that. Watch on 35 mm film, don't pay $20, I'm happy to do both of those things," said one customer waiting in line to see "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
One ticket plus a small popcorn at the Vista costs $13.25, which is still less than the price of one movie ticket at an Arclight or a Regal Cinema.
Based on the inflation rate, it's estimated that the annual ticket price in 2019 is estimated to be $10.14.
