Something occured to me when I was watching a commercial. Is the show at the new theater in 3D or HD? I see that there are two different versions. That may explain the price difference and why she wants to go to the new theater.

Accept your offer or don't go!
I raised 2 girls in this entitled generation, now that they are older, 20 and 22 and one is out on her own, they get it now!
Once they are at the movies, they will not care which one they are at!

I'd be in the camp that wouldn't allow a Christian girl into that movie regardless of how it looks in front of the friends. I'll admit that this is a moral issue for me and I anticipate being in this situation with my kids in a few years.

I would say "this is what I am willing to do, this is what I am willing to pay. If you and your friends get together and decide to go to the more expensive theater, I will drive you but you will pay the difference in ticket and snack prices for BOTH of us." Seems reasonable. Consequences to actions. Virg

I haven't been to the movies in a long time (A LOOOOONNNNNG time) but I understand some theaters prohibit you from bringing in your own snacks. You might want to find out if this is the case. (They make most of their profit from the snack sales).
If you feel uncomfortable letting your DD "bend" the rules, you might suggest a pizza party before the movie, and/or ice cream after.
