So lets see, price of two tickets for a 10:30 show that was to full to get into $19.00, price to pay for parking because you had to go to 11:30 show to see the movie $26.00, money that this theater or any theater in chicago will get from me again, zero. F@#$ you AMC. I will never go to this theater again.

Pros

+ really crowded, if you like that

Cons

- parking cost more then movie tickets
