How many movies do you see in theaters a year?
I've been thinking about this lately because this year I'm going to see a ton of superhero movies in theaters. I've already seen Deadpool and Batman/Superman, and will go to see Civil War, X-men, probably Suicide Squad, and Star Trek 3. And sadly...maybe the Bay TMNT II movie as well.
How many movies do you see in theaters this year? |

Movie theaters are horrible. I try to keep it to about five or less times per year.

I'd probably say somewhere in the ballpark of 15-20 these days.

I rarely go to movie theaters. The last movie I saw at a theater was TMNT in 2014 and before that, the Simpsons Movie and TMNT (both in 2007).

I'd rather see a movie in theaters then wait a few months and get spoiled everything on the internet. You already saw Star Wars and Batman/Superman spoilers immediately even on pages that you thought would be safe.

I actually see quite a lot. My local theater has special "Early Bird" pricing if you see the first showing of the day. So I tend to check out what's playing every week, and if there's something I want to see, I use Sunday mornings to go see it. Since it's just me and I bring my own food if I want any, it's pretty cheap.

It depends. I always have 3-4 "must see in theater movies" per year, and usually end up seeing a few more.
This year, it's: Batman V Superman, Captain America 3, and Suicide Squad. I'm going to wait and just buy the DVD for X-Men Apocalypse, because it's ending up on my shelf no matter what (it can't be any worse than X3)... Kung Fu Panda 3 and Deadpool are also just "first day DVD purchases." I've got a list of like 20 movies that I'm going to see, it's just most of them will be Redbox or first day DVD purchases. Theaters are expensive, and I'm always on a date when I go to theaters... so two tickets a showing for me, if not more.

3-5 times per year is more than enough for me.

I don't watch every movie each year, I only watch the ones that interest me, I don't know how many movies this year, but there is a lot of them, mostly are comic book movies and a scifi movie or two.

A ton. We go in the morning when tickets are five bucks. The place has assigned seating and reclining seats so it's pretty awesome.

About 10-15 also sounds right for me.
This year I already saw Spectre, Zootopia, BVS, and BVS again. I'm planning on The Jungle Book, Rogue One, and Civil War. |

Pretty rarely, maybe one or two a year until the past few years...now I'm up to maybe 4 or 5 a year!
Actually I would like to go more but only so many things seem at all worth it. However now that I found a local-enough drive in I have been going to a few things I might not have bothered to see otherwise. Like I only went to the new Godzilla because I knew I could see it there, on a big outdoor screen. Also did the last year's Marvel stuff there, and Fury Road, pretty neat. I wish they were better about playing the "space" movies as the second feature though, so you could get the occasional "entire field of vision is a starscape" effect.

One or two if any at all. Just don't have the money.

I've started to going to movie theaters a lot more in the past few years. I think I have the first Iron Man movie to blame for it.

Sowhere in the twenties I guess. I used to go almost every week, but not these days.

I'm glad to see some of the replies on this thread. Spending so much time on the internet I feel like everyone watches every movie that ever comes out on theaters, I swear every generic blockbuster movie has all the internet nerds saying its awesome. But yeah I tend to watch anywhere from 0-8 Hollywood movies a year, if this includes indie/art films at festivals then that number might go up to 12 per year.
I'm not a big movie guy or one that watches them on theater, every year there's about 1-3 movies I really want to see, last year it was Jurassic World and Star Wars, this year its BvS, Ninja Turtles and maybe the new Star Wars. I end up watching a few more movies a year because either my fiance wants to watch a movie or because I'm with friends and they're going |
