Although you find entertainment at the movies it does not come to a cheap price. The movie ticket is $9.75, and you can’t watch a movie without popcorn and that is about $5.75. With the popcorn you are going to get thirsty and the drink is $4.00. What if that particular day you are in the mood for something sweet, the candy is $3.50. So in total the trip to the movies is $20.50. That is just one trip, but what about the other times, because it is certain that there is not only going to be one movie that intrigues you. Because they put out at least fifteen movies per month, you will go to the movies a few times a month. That will add up too. There is a large amount of movies that are made based on books. The book is at least 300 pages long and the movie is only 90 minutes long, there is not going to be as much detail because there is only so much you can put in the 90 minute time
