Inflation keeps rising, and so does the average movie ticket price. If you hate getting ripped off at the theater, Net Credit put together some maps and charts to show the most and least expensive average movie ticket prices in the US, based on state averages for two films ("Napoleon" and "Wish on a Saturday") in the 100 largest cites and their 10 largest cinemas.
