I saw each LOTR film more than ten times. FOTR was 18 times, TTT 16 and ROTK 17. I wrote it all down in a journal which is how I know this.

Having a big Friday drop is not necessarily a sign a trouble. The final Harry Potter movie and 2nd Twilight movie also had 70% second Friday drop, and the former is another billion dollar WB movie.

I can count the films I've seen twice in the cinema on one hand. I barely get a chance to see 10% of the films I want to see as it is.

When i was in high school me and my friends saw Kill Bill part 1 like at least half a dozen times. We had a cheap theater in my hometown though. Sin City was another one I saw a bunch.

I see movies I love at least 2-3 times in the theater. A lot of people do actually.

Titanic is a different beast all together, you really can't compare its fans viewing habits to, like, anything else. Although apparently my grandmother watched the Errol Flynn Robin Hood in theaters like a dozen times.

Also there used to be DICK all to do. Even in the 90s, video games weren't very mainstream and the internet was barely a thing. Early 2000s wasn't too much better. Now? Oh God you have to schedule to make time AWAY from the internet now

There used to be plenty of poo poo to do. In my shithole town in the early 90's we had laser tag, two bowling alleys, go carts, three theaters, two youth clubs. And that isn't even county the illegal poo poo we did.

Movies were in theaters way longer back in the day and got re-released quite a bit due to lack of home video options.

Luminous Obscurity posted:I'm honestly curious about this too. Like I know Star Wars nerds will see Star Wars films like three times on the first week, but I always figured most people see a film once, maybe twice in theaters. There's a Star Wars podcast I listen to and I think each of the three hosts has seen Force Awakens 20 times now, which is just mind-boggling. ...but not as mind-boggling as the fact that the main host apparently saw The Phantom Menace 76 times in theaters. I know this because he recently complained about how mean people are by making fun of him for this.

I rarely see movies in a theater more than once (new releases I mean, screenings of older films is a different thing). The only one I've seen twice recently is, embarrassingly, Age of Ultron.

Unless you were doing it for the purposes of sexual satisfaction or something, in which case you should probably do that in your home.

Because I spent a lot of money to see a lousy movie twice. You're right though, not embarrassing - "regretfully" would've been a better word.

Whenever I hear someone say "OH MY GOD THERE IS ANOTHER CAR IN FRAME, I'M ALMOST FINISHED!" I just jump backwards over the seat and start punching them in the face. It's for the good of society.

Finally watched Ant-Man since it came to Starz this weekend. It was actually pretty rad, definitely within the better half of MCU movies. You could also definitely see Wright's influence, although it sucks that he didn't actually get to direct.

The both times I saw movies in theaters multiple times it was because I was taking my family. Can't imagine doing it alone twice, that's why I bought a bluray player.

An MCU movie that is intentionally funny and makes it work. Can't wait for the wasp.

Ghost Rider should just end Civil War with his Shame power. It's like the Penance Stare, but he wags his fingers at the combatants while a ghostly "shaaaaaame" permeates the air.
