This isn't the case where I live. A new release DVD costs approx. £10. I can get a cinema ticket for as little as £3.50.

I'm referring to renting the DVD. Or even buying the DVD, and watching it together as a family or group (£10 DVD vs. 4*£3.50 movie tickets). But yes, there are some caveats.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't consider the cost of tickets for multiple people or renting the movie.

You're correct for purchasing, but I assumed this was DVD rental. Also there's often Pay-per-view rental between theater and dvd availability.
