It just seems like movies are every where in price. 10 dollars, 12 dollars, 14 dollars, 20 dollars, 25 dollars, 30 dollars. If i didn't know any better i would say companies are pulling numbers out of a hat and which ever number they get is the price of the movie.

And if companies can sell blu rays at 9 dollars, why not just lower the price of all blu rays to 9.99? And make new releases 15 dollars?

Because they want to make more money? Seems pretty straight forward to me. Why don't record companies sell albums at $1, they take pennies to create.
