7.89 for movies? What? Where? I'm guessing this data is skewed by the low prices of rural and suburban centers that are underpopulated. Here in the urban world where most of the population lives, movies start at 11 or 12 dollars and then there's a 3D surcharge of a couple bucks.
They seem to be calculated by taking the box office takings[1] and dividing it by the number of admissions[2].
I suspect the big influence on that price is "family" tickets and children's tickets and other concession tickets which push the average price down.
