Movie tickets in Japan go for 1,800 yen (1,500 if you are a student) at the box office, which is quite pricey. But you almost never have to pay the full price. First of all, there is the monthly Movie Day. Currently on the first day of every month, you can see movies for only 1,000 yen. In addition to that, most theatres have a Ladies' Day, usually every Wednesday, when tickets for girls also go for 1,000 yen. The next option are the so-called Road Shows. These are advance screenings of movies, tickets sell at 1,200 yen and come with a small present, such as a commemorative pin. If all this fails, you should try to get advance tickets, which are sold in shops all over town (but not at the theaters themselves). Advance tickets do not really have to be bought in advance (10 minutes before the screening works fine), have the movie's poster printed on them (which makes them a nice souvenir as well), are available in massive quantities (so they are very unlikely to be sold out), and cost 1,300 yen. Since they work at almost all cinemas in your area and on any day, they also make nice presents. You can also buy advance tickets through the ticket machines in convenience stores, but then at least one day ahead of time and only for a specific day and theatre.

Jim Carrey complains about God failing him, which results in Morgan Freeman bestowing all his powers upon him.
