Noting that the first public exhibition of projected motion pictures in the United States was at Koster & Bials Music Hall on 34th Street in New York City on April 23, 1896, the first "theater" in the US dedicated exclusively to showing motion pictures was Vitascope Hall, established on Canal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana June 26, 1896: it was converted from a vacant store!. In the basement of the new Ellicott Square Building, Main Street, Buffalo, New York, Mitchell Mark and his brother Moe Mark added what they called Edison’s Vitascope Theater (entered through Edisonia Hall), which they opened to the general public on Monday, 19 October 1896, in collaboration with Rudolph Wagner, who had moved to Buffalo after spending several years working at the Edison laboratories: this 72 seat, plush theater was designed from scratch solely to show motion pictures!. Terry Ramseye, in his book, A Million and One Nights [p!. 276], notes that this “was one of the earliest permanently located and exclusively motion-picture exhibitions!.” According to the Buffalo News (Wednesday, November 2, 1932), "There were seats for about 90 persons and the admission was three cents!. Feeble, flickering films of travel scenes were the usual fare!." (The true number of seats was 72!.)

I'm speculating here, but I would guess the first theatres were converted live theatres (vaudeville), and probably charged anywhere between 1 & 5 cents!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
In 1897 at the Vitascope Theater (New York) it was 10cents
