I rarely ever did that. I can only remember seeing Independence Day twice in theaters. Maybe Fifth Element... I'm not certain now.

TMNT (2014) - 8 times
Coco - 4 times (plan to see again)
Mine's Phantom Menace at 6 times.
I wish I could do that but I was too young at that time. :(
Best Star Wars movie ever tbh. :tlove:

Yeah, I've never seen a movie in theaters more than once either. Paying twice to see the same movie in theaters so soon after the first time never made sense to me.
These days DVDs/blu-rays come out so soon after they leave theaters that you can watch it again really soon anyway.

TMNT 2014 and 16- twice each (had free tix for both). Other than that, I've seen Civil War twice, and GotG twice as well.

The Force Awakens 3 times.
Was it worth it?

I've not done it, I contemplated it once but never got around to it, happy to just wait for the disk release.

Come to think of it if we ever get a good live-action TMNT movie in theaters, unlike those recent Michael Bay atrocities, I'd probably make an effort to see it more than once in theaters to support it more.
Of course all the original 90's movies came out when I was a kid, so I only saw them once in theaters and then the VHS and DVDs many times.

I never understood this practice. Why would I watch a movie at the cinema and then watch it there again soon after? Usually when I like a movie I only re-watch it a year or so later when it airs on TV or the DVD comes out... well nowadays I suppose that doesn't apply much anymore since you can easily watch movies anytime you want.
So, I'm gonna change the OP question and I'll tell you which movies I think I've seen the most times in my life: Space Jam, the 1st Mr. Bean movie, the first Toy Story movie, Tiny Toons: How I've spent My Summer Vacation, and finally Daffy Duck's Quackbusters. I've seen all of these countless times. I used to watch my Toy Story and How I Spent My Vacation VHS tapes a lot as a kid. I haven't seen the original Toy Story movie in years tho. Last time was probably 2002 or so. And I don't think I want to. I'd rather keep my nostalgia for it.

The only reason I ever watch movies in theatres is to have a one time special occassion with family and friends.
Watching the same movie twice doesn't feel as special imo. I think its definetly better just to get DVD/Blu Rays later on if you really wanna see the film.

As much as I love the Turtles and as much as I would wish a great live-action TMNT movie to do well... no, I'd not pay to watch it at the cinema more than one time. I would however gladly buy it on DVD or Blu Ray once those came out, though.

The movie I have seen the greatest number of times altogether? That one is easy- Spaceballs, hands down. It is my favorite movie of all time and I have seen it more times than I can even remember. Enough that I can quote every line by heart. I know the crawl better than I do the one from Star Wars!

Most films only once in the cinema. The only films I can recall seeing twice are Jurassic Park, Phantom Menace, and The Force Awakens. Will be seeing The Last Jedi twice as well (midnight showing tomorrow with my brother, and then Saturday with our respective other halves).

My dad took me to see Spider-Man (2002) twice. It's the only time I remember going to the same film more than once.
It felt like such an event back then. I think it was also the first movie I owned on DVD as well.

Only time I go and see a movie a second time is if it's with other people then the first time, cause cinema is expansive.

I think the only movie I ever saw in theaters twice was the first Pokemon flick.

That was the case for me with The Force Awakens to answer Cubed above. I saw it at the Thursday night showing then the next day with my family.The third time was a about ten days later which I saw it with a friend that was waiting to see it when time permitted and needed someone to go with.
Probably Jurassic Park or the Lion King, they were on penny theaters after their original run and my mom would take me there while she went shopping. Even without those I saw Jurassic Park 3D re-release 3 times plus at least one time the original run I saw it minimum 4 times.
There are many movies I saw 3 or 2 times, my logic was that if I really liked the movie I needed to see it as many times in theaters as I could. This started with Star Wars episode II :lol: I know I saw Batman Begins and Superman Returns at least twice.
The reason why anyone would want to watch a movie is you'll never see it with the same experience again, the big screen, sound etc. No matter how good your home theater is it just isn't the same.
I don't really watch movies more than once, I watched Episode VII twice and Jurassic World twice. I'll likely see Jurassic World 2 twice as well but that's about it.
I can't even be enticed to see movies I'm interested in while they're in theaters anymore, it's just such an annoying experience most of the time that it isn't worth it. In general I only watch about 5 hollywood films per year, if you count indie/international movies that number doubles.

It was probably the original Beauty and the Beast. I saw the IMAX re-release in 2002, the sing-along edition in 2010 and the 3D re-release twice in 2012. Plus, I briefly got to see it during its original release while my mom was in line getting snacks for us one day.

I'm pretty much the same way.

For me it was Attack of the Clones. I want to say 16 times(at least 12, but no more than 18 ). Really sad actually considering it's probably the worst of the franchise(after Phantom Menace). At the time though, I was super into Star Wars, with the EU playing no small part in that(which is also what ended up mostly driving me away from the franchise too).

I wasn't expecting this to be a difficult question, I'll be honest I don't really know. I don't think I've seen a movie in the theater more than 3 times.
I think I saw Trainspotting three times, but that's mostly because it was playing at a theater on campus and if you were a student you got in ridiculously cheap.
I've seen a bunch of movies in the theater twice.
Pacific Rim, Thor Ragnarok, surely the 1990 Turtle movie.
The first Avengers movie I know I saw at least twice in the theater.
