Ever been to a movie theater in a different country? - Blu-ray Forum

I saw The Dark Knight Rises in Jalisco, Mexico this summer (in English, Spanish subs). I was surprised at how nice their theater was. Everything was cheaper also ($5 for an IMAX showing). That's the only time I've seen a movie at a theater outside of the US.

Yep, actually saw Kung Fu Panda 2 in Robinson Mall Theater in Bacolod City along with my brother and brother in law

I've been to movies in France.

Some theaters had ice cream instead of popcorn.

I go to Europe every year but I don't tend to go to the movies at any "real" theaters anywhere lately.

I've seen several movies at different theaters in Bogota, Colombia. All of them (Hollywood movies) were shown in English with Spanish subtitles, and the cinemas were just as nice and advanced as the nicest theaters here in the States.

The cost of the tickets is also generally cheaper than the States.

I saw The Fellowship of the Ring in a theater in Brazil. Lived there for two years. Can't remember the other movies I saw there. They were all in English, with Portuguese subtitles. And they played too quietly! I guess because everyone else had to read.

i live in Canada - does that count?

haven't seen one outside of Canada. was going to see Trek when it came out since i was in Vegas that week but it just didn't work out. doubt there is a huge difference other than we still have a lot of older theatres since we have relatively few large cities compared to the States so the seats aren't as big and comfortable, etc, but that is all cosmetic.

I went to a cinema in Singapore. There was very little leg room and I was cramped for the whole show.
