My grandparents had the daily newspaper, so I would just borrow their paper when they were done with it to see what me, and my dad wanted to watch on a Sunday afternoon as he was a big movie buff. it was also the days when on Sunday in my area due to blue laws almost nothing but gas stations, and places eat( a lot elected to not open before 1pm) could open before 1pm So it was almost always a 1:30 pm or 2:30pm movie for us on a lazy Sunday.

turned out he was so popular people where buying tickets to other movies they did not care about, that they knew had the Batman movie trailer, and would walk out right after the trailer went off, sometimes leaving near empty theaters.

I remember in the early 83 when my mother got her first VCR being a top loader that popped up cost her well over $400 USD, and we kept that sucker well in the the mid 90's when it finally died, and could not be fixed. Don't quote, but think it was a Panasonic model, we also had a Mattel Intellivision which she said cost her $250 USD, while also buying her first house as a single mother on a banker's salary. So it guess it depended on how good your job was, but stuff sure was more expensive back then when account for inflation, but a lot of it was built to last.
