Japanese movie theaters are a whole different experience than American ones. For one, they cost more. They cost a TON. As a result, they are much fancier. They serve alcoholic drinks, quality snacks and cookies, and have gift shops with movie memorabilia to commemorate your film experience. The most common is the pamphlet. These picture books are often ornate and have photos, interviews, plot descriptions, character profiles, actor profiles and so on. They’re only available at the theater and only when the movie is showing.
Here’s the one for Star Trek: Into Darkness. It’s 40 pages of pretty, glossy photos and the cheatsheet to Star Trek. Also available on Imgur.
