Solution

A movie theater price discriminates by charging children and seniors lower prices than adults because the demand function for children and seniors is "more price elastic". This means that children and seniors are more sensitive to changes in price. If the price is too high, they are more likely to not go to the movies. By offering lower prices to these groups, the movie theater can attract more customers from these segments and increase its overall revenue.
