For people who like to think of themselves as being theater buffs and who try to take in as many theatrical performances as they can, getting hold of discounted show tickets can be quite a thrill. Securing discounts is especially exciting for people who are enamored of the grand shows on Broadway, which can cost upwards of $100 and more per seat. At those prices, purchasing tickets through the box office can get so expensive that it limits how often they can attend such theatrical events.
The fact is that not as many people these days can afford to pay full price for their theater tickets and still be able to enjoy as many shows as they would like to take in. And, for those who are traveling to New York City and are already dealing with the increasing price of air tickets and hotel accommodations these days, it is even more important to try to find the best ticket prices in order to be able to enjoy as many of the Broadway spectacles as possible during their visit.
The good news is that in today’s internet age, there are more options than ever for finding cheap tickets and avoid paying the full price that the box office charges for live productions. There are now several different internet sites where theater buffs can go to find discount codes and coupons for various event tickets. Some even have special promotions and contests for free tickets.
These special websites are designed particularly for people who are able to plan well in advance and buy tickets to the Broadway shows early in the season. Often, these discount ticketing websites also function as a marketing and promotional arm of the big shows by helping to kick off ticket sales of new shows or help increase the ticket sales, especially if one of the shows is lagging somewhat in popularity.
These sites often have access to special discount coupon codes that can be used to make online ticket purchases through the site. At the same time, sometimes you can use these codes or coupons and take them right to the box office and receive your discount at that time. These sites are typically listed as part of the guidebook to the Broadway shows.
There are some restrictions on some of these discounts and generally is a limited selection of showtimes tickets to choose from. This is so that the ticket sales can be regulated somewhat and so that discounts are not given for show times that are the most popular. Instead, many of the cheap tickets available will be for matinees and evening performances, Monday through Thursday.
Those who attend the theater often have learned that it is best to buy tickets early in a new theater season, in order to have an opportunity to secure discounts on the tickets. It is also a good idea to inquire at the box office about special discounts that are available that you might qualify for, such as senior or student discounts, or discounts for purchasing tickets to multiple performances or season tickets.

Bangkok Dangerous wasn’t a hit at the Box Office this past weekend. What does that mean for Nicolas Cage and directors the Pang Brothers? Check out the first installment of a new feature here at The Movie Preview Critic, Box Office Breakdown!
Help answer the question about Box Office
What is "box office" when talking about a movie?I always see people talking about how much a movie has made in box office, and i don't know what they're talking about. I also see percentages, what is that for?
I heard the movie "Get Smart" an action comedy movie, made about $130 million box office and $100 million foriegn, i think that means they made over $200 million. They spent a budget of $80 million to produce the movie, does that mean they made over $120 million profit? Is that good? does that profit go to the directors?
Bangkok Dangerous was a GREAT movie. i loved it. one of my favorite films. i dont see why people hate it so much. same with Quantum of Solace. whats to hate? and At Worlds End? cmon. its perfect. Nicholas Cage has tons of good movies. Natinoal Treasure, National Treasure 2, Bangkok Dangerous, Ghost Rider, Knowing, Next, Gone in 60 Seconds, World Trade Center, Lord of War, and i cant wait for National Treasure 3 and Ghost Rider 2(yes both are correct) to come out. it will be awsome.
lol he said cock
Ahhh, Im back from Belgium!
Very good review friend, my thoughts exactly. The movie wasnt as good as i’d hoped sadly.
wheres the second avp R review
Nah, he said ass in the Disturbia review.
I think it should just be for a big movie, and no repeat winners. I also think it would be interesting to do one for a big flop.
I Think I will…but because the trick is finding time to make them, the future versions will be audio only. No visual editing saves a lot of time. Can’t say when…need to find a schedule that works for reviews first. Thanks for your interest in them!
Are you going to make another one of these any time soon?
I feel that both Nicholas Cage and Samule L Jackson are in every singel movie in existance. I can’t stand this!
b4 hand
NUMBER 1 THIS WEEKEND!!! 70.6 million is what I heard. I think it's the biggest film, money wise this year since Dark Knight. Although I could be wrong.
I think it's going to do very well, probably almost as good as LOTR/Harry/Narnia. With so many obsessed fans, the movie would have to be completely awful to not do well.
The Box Office means money – how much the movie has made selling tickets in US movie theaters. Foreign, PPV, DVD rentals and sales are technically not part of a film's box office, though they do contibute to a film's profits.
The profits of the movie typically go to the producers, or the production company, who hired the director. Some directors, like Spielberg, have their own production companies, like "Dreamworks" and "Amblin' " Some actors have their own production companies, too, like Clint Eastwood (OK, he started out as an actor) whose company is Malpaso Films or John Wayne (?) who had Batjac Productions.
Only US box office figures are counted as domestic in the US. Canadian box figure numbers are released on their own, however the Canadian media tends to print North American numbers which are the combined US and Canada (sorry, Mexico), since they are larger.
The number one movie last week in Canada was "The Day the Earth Stood Still" which grossed $1.81 Million. If you want to see the rest of the list, it's at

Many beginning actors work box office because they want to be working "in" the theatre and that is all they can get. However volunteering is another story. As a box office volunteer ( or even employee) you will not be near or on the stage. But depending on the size of the theatre and the company, you possibly will have interactions with the people that are. However this is far from a guarantee. Some theatre box offices are pretty far away from the backstage area, the stage and the green room and in most larger theatres you may never even have contact with the director or anyone else directly involved with the production. You will however get to know the house manager and you never know what connections they may have.
If this is a smaller theatre then this may be a good opportunity to make connections and get your face recognized as well as showing your dedication to the company. If this is a large theatre you most likely will be wasting your time.
grease 2… they ruined it.

No, it's safe to say it flopped. The movie opened with less than half the money the other spoof movies made.
Hopefully this will ring the death knell for these annoying spoofs.
