The taxes that multimillionaire actors pay supply the government with a lot of revenue to fund programs for the needy. Why should we encourage them to leave?

You can wait until particular days, times of the day, or several weeks later to see it in a cheaper venue and the price will change. The market allows people to choose freely, the problem is that most people who wish to attend make the same choices (weekends and nights) so the prices remain relatively flat.

Have you ever noticed that you would pay $10 for a movie-ticket if you wanted to go to a movie tonight. Then, around 4 months later, you can get that movie sent your house for free for only $10 a month with Netflix and you can get all the movies you want?

The movie ticket prices haven't changed at all. It goes up .25 cents at times, but never has gone down.

Market access is variable and people are not required to participate at a price they don't want to.

Yea but there is no competition at all when it comes to the movies. All ticket prices are practically the same. It's a monopoly.

Yes, put a salary cap on all these spoiled actors. All they do is make millions and whine and think they deserve all the money they get. The problem is that these people are actually admired. That's how messed up this country is. They don't deserve anything but a few claps for their performances and minimum wage.

They are a bunch of little children the way they act.

Households can conserve money and spend it on something useful other than making rich actors.

How would price controls make any sense in either direction?

If you want to cap the actors, you have to go after the theater and production companies and place a cap on ticket prices. That's the root of the problem.
