From Santiago de Queretaro to the world

Do we love movies?

, , , ,

YES, Mexicans love movies, and Queretanos REALLY LOVE movies, lines extremly long to enter to watch the new summer hits, and theaters are also very special too, in Querétaro we have many movie theaters, according to market research Queretaro is one of the cities where people go more to movies, and because of that we are in the premier ring, a ring of cities in which all movies that will be shown in the country are shown first, even world premieres are first, theater owners have special midnight funtions in that way they have the premier on the right day. In the Movie theaters we have a complete experience, since you can have a dinner there, several tables, a baguette restaurant, coffee shop, creperié, sushi and bar, inside the theatre, and in some VIP theaters there are waiters that go to your seat to bring you food, beverages or candy.

Because of this and many other reasons is why the movie premieres in Mexico have the presence of the actors of the film, Hollywood style.

In Mexico to enter to see a movie we pay, average, $45.00 pesos, is like $4.00 USdollars, but the minimun wage here is $40.00 pesos, so people have to work a day and a little to go to movies, of course not everybody has that little pay checks.

Here some pics of the DaVinci Code line in Cinepolis Querétaro. As you will see the line to enter goes to the street.

Living in California and Arizona I have had the privilege of frequenting Mexico many times. I have to agree; the movie experience there is unlike anything the states has to offer. If only I would have known more spanish back then. Thanks for the memories.
