Local Movie Chain Is Really Sorry About That $20 Ticket "Mixup"

The movie chain AMC would like to apologize for the mixup that led people to believe movie tickets for 3-D showings of Shrek: We’re Trying To Wring Out Your Wallets One More Time would cross the $20 threshold at certain New York City theaters. “Unfortunately, a limited number of theatres posted incorrect pricing for Shrek Forever After, which we immediately corrected,” an AMC flack said over the weekend, adding the promises of refunds to his apology. Possibly related: The $71.3 million take that the movie brought in over the weekend was deemed “disappointing” by pundits — the last installment of the Mike Myers as goblinlike figure franchise brought in $121.6 million three years ago.
