...IMAX movie night for a family of four, with tickets ordered over an Internet site like Fandango that charges a booking fee, can run from $60 to $75 before the family even gets to the concession stand. For all of this, you can thank Cameron - and Tim Burton, who directed Alice in Wonderland, not to mention the mass audience's compulsion to see the big new movies in the big hot format...
