I have to correct myself: I have some old Newsday newspapers, and I see that on 9/26/81, when they were showing “For Your Eyes Only,” the admission was $1. The price for “The Dark Crystal,” showing April 5, 1983, was $1.50. I’m pretty sure that it was 81 cents for some of 1981, though…
I grew up a few blocks from Morton Village. I was only seven in 1976, but I seem to recall there being 76 cent movies. The cents did correspond to the year until ‘82 or '83, when it went 99 cents. It closed in 1985, and “Compromising Positions” was the last movie to play there, with the title staying on the marquee long after the theater closed.
