News on Movie Ticket Prices (1988) Bill O’Reilly

This news segment from ABC’s World News Tonight aired on January 6, 1988 and features Bill O’Reilly as the correspondent (yes, future Fox News host O’Reilly) covering the rise in the top Manhattan movie ticket price from $6 to $7. Mayor Ed Koch is interviewed and calls on everyone to boycott theaters charging that much. ABC movie critic Joel Siegel comments as well, along with a few average moviegoers. Clips from Oliver Stone’s WALL STREET are shown to comment on the action. The top ticket price in Manhattan today is well over twice that amount. Peter Jennings was the host.
