27 Trivia Nuggets From Pop Culture History About Movies For Monday, December 15, 2025
No one's really going to see stuff at the movie theater these days. This is, in part, because of how expensive it is. I mean, sixteen bucks for a ticket? And that's not even including popcorn, a drink, or candy. Going to the movies used to be a pretty cheap way to spend some time with your friends or family, but now it's a whole wallet-flattening event. And fewer people are choosing to attend movies on their opening weekend; if you're going to spend movie theater prices, you have to make sure that the film has a good score on Rotten Tomatoes first!
But you don't need a ticket to scroll through these facts; you don't need a Netflix subscription either, just an open and curious mind for BTS movie trivia.
