	Do you see movies more than once in the theatre? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I never do, but nearly every "Making of" documentary ends with the director or a lead actor asking the audience to make sure to "go more than once if you like it". I also read a recent George Lucas interview, where he laments the forthcoming total downfall of Hollywood because greedy people don't go to see movies more than once anymore. He says he just hopes the industry lasts long enough for him to make Episode III.

I am a bit taken aback that Hollywood reasonably expects us to see movies more than once. Does anyone out there actually do so?

The only times I go more than once is if I go with different people...

Depends on how good the film is, but it isn't reasonable to expect people to go more than once, for many people, once you have seen it, you have seen it, you know what happens...

The downfall of Hollywood is that they make too many movies. It's impossible to keep up with the Super-Cineplex with it's 16 movies and the Multi-Movieplex on the other side of town with 16 different movie and the Art House theater with it's 4 movies. Most of these movies won't last more than a few weeks, at best. A month is a miracle. At 12-15 bucks a person for ticket, popcorn and soda most people can't afford to see more than a couple.

When I was a kid, we saw Star Wars at the drive-in every weekend for months. The local movie houses also played it for months.

By the time of the Empire Strikes Back, the drive in had been replaced by a 4 movie theater complex and a strip mall. We saw ESB several times.

When return of the Jedi came out, the 4-movie complex had been replaced by a twelve movie complex and I saw the movie once.

Now they have 16 movies and I saw the last two at home.

There's a $1.50 theater nearby, so I'll occasionally see movies two or three times if I like them enough (and want to see them on the big screen).

George Lucas can wrap around my ass.

Prices are getting ridiculous, especially for the product offered. Too much crap at the beginning. The best place to see movies is at the smaller, independent houses: ones with real balconies and nice lobbies.

LOTR were the only flicks I 've see on the big screen lately

going to see films at the cinema is way to expensive so I sit here and zap between two channels that both show re-runs of "the nanny" at the same time as near prime time friday entertainment... I would shot myself without my dear friend Whisky.... Can someone send me some money please!?

	I don't usually see movies once, let alone goto the theatre. Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

The rare times I want to watch a movie, I'll download it - unless someone wanted to watch it with me in a theatre.



Either way, george lucas isn't going to get a penny from me.

Funny how each of the new Star Wars films has made over $400 million each, and Lucas has the gall to whine that people aren't giving him enough money. What a tool.

I saw The Fellowship of the Ring twice, and will see The Two Towers again on the IMAX here in NY. Other than that, no--I'm not paying $10 to see something I've already seen, and is usually not worth $10 in the first place.

Good point. A lot of people don't bother seeing a movie multiple times in the cinema anymore, because they can buy/rent a DVD (with or without extras), and home cinema systems are becoming more popular.

The only film I ever saw twice at the movies that I can remember was TTT. But that was kinda accidental, I wouldn't do it deliberately

It's your money

I don't either, way too expensive, and far too little value for money. Pff they don't even give you a remote , the audacity

I don't go to cinema theatres that much anyway.
I try to get to the more spectacle movies, because they usually need to be seen on a big screen. IE movies like LOTR...

Sometimes I go twice or more times into a film.

But this seldom happens.
"LotR" is one of those cases.

"The Fellowship of the Ring" iŽve seen twice in german and one time in english,
"The two Towers" IŽve seen twice to date, one time in german, the other time in english.

But normally I go to cinema on half price days (every Tuesday and Thursday) where you just have to pay 4,50 € or 5 € instead of 8,50 € (if you go into the film before 5 pm that is), thus it isnŽt too expensive.

NO-WAY

I go to the theatres once every two years... the prices are just getting too high

Oh, and with the few, but mostly boring, movies they show at the theatres nearby, there's no reason to go there. I was suprised they showed BOTH Spiderman and Men in Black II. They usually only show one "not-made-by-crap-people" a year

And with about 40% of the movies they show, are cartoons... Don't get me wrong, I love cartoons... WHEN they are in english, but they always translate them, so they have annoying danish speakings :doitnow:

anyways, if a movie is really awesome, I'll see it multiple times. I saw Star Wars: Episode I like 3 times, but only because it was built up so much. After the last time I saw it, I concluded... "bad!"

I saw Fight CLub twice...
I'm going to see LOTD:2Towers in IMAX after seeing it in the regular theatres.

I saw SouthPark:The movie 4 times.... soooo hilarious

When I was a little kid I used to do that for some Disney movies. But now I never do that, once is enough for me. Of course, there are some people who don't pay at all for movies. In college you get high speed ethernet connections which many students use to download movies.

I do see movies multiple times at theaters, but rarely, and only IF the movie is spectacular; like the LotR movies.

But if Hollywood is in danger of falling, its their own fault for producing trash movies.

I saw The Others twice, but part of the reason was that it was that last ever film to be shown at my soon-to-be-shut-down local cinema.

Didn't this Lucas whining thing come up before?

One big reason is of course the studios putting out all the DVDs and stuff.

Of course, Lucas conveniently forgot to mention how much $ he (or the studio) made from frenchises.
