How often do you go to the theater to see a movie?

A local movie theatre used to have Saturday 10am showings and I used to go all the time as there were never more than 3-4 people in the theatre (it was great) But of course they were losing money so after about 2 years they stopped that

But now it is the noisy crowds make we just want to wait for DVD.

I can't say never, so less then once a year.

I went to an Imax once and a drive in once.
Movies I saw at a regular theater were
-Men In Black
-Homeward Bound 2 (lame!)
-Home Alone
-Jurassic Park
-The Bear

I voted 5 to 6 times a year. Most of my movie going is usually done during the summer. Before venturing out I usually decide how badly I want to see the movie. Most of the time I wait for DVD since my home theater can deliver the same or better sound and picture experience than any movie theater (except for IMAX).

We used to go to matinees almost every week......

Then, we had kids......

Rarely. Everytime I go something happens; One night the movie started 15 minutes late & we had to leave to pick up our daughter so we missed the last 10 minutes of "Don't Say a Word". Then we go to take our daughter (6 yrs old) to see "The Rookie" and it is sold out! Talk about heartbreak. How do you explain to a 6 year old that we can't see the movie till next Saturday because too many people bought tickets? That's when I discovered Fandango.com.

With my home theater setup I don't miss the movies at all. At least I can eat my own popcorn with real butter on it and pause the movie to pee when I want and not listen to people talking or cell phones ringing or worry about an out-of-focus picture or the volume being to low or too high or not being shown in DTS when it is advertised as such.

I will forever be haunted by Brittany Murphy's "I'll never tell" can't-get-it-out-of- my-head like a bad pop song line. If I live to be 90 years of age I will still laugh at that one and always remember her for that single throwaway line no matter what she goes on to do!
