According to a Fandango.com poll conducted this weekend, 64 percent of people who saw The Dark Knight would see it again in the theater, making it even more impossible for the rest of us to see it just once. THANKS A LOT.
The movie I saw the most in a theater was American Beauty. I was a freshman in college and terrified that I wouldn’t make any friends, so I just kept saying yes to new people who wanted to go. (Um, there was a Ground Round right next to the theater and we inexplicably went there, too.) I think I saw it four times, maybe seven. Since 1999, I’ve spoken to those movie companions zero times, yet almost always watch part or all of American Beauty when it’s on HBO even though I’m sick of it by now. Priorities, I guess. You know what those dorm mates would say to me today? "It’s okay, Annie. I wouldn’t remember me either." JK people!
Anyhow, back to the subject at hand: Would you go to see The Dark Knight again, already? And which other movies have you repeat-theater’ed? (Oh, and if you haven’t read Benjamin Svetkey’s recent EW feature on the current box-office champ, by all means click here.)
I will likely see The Dark Knight a 2nd time on an IMAX screen – but the movie I saw the most in the theatre was Four Weddings & Funeral – 4 TIMES! I just kept telling ppl it was the best movie ever and kept going with them to see it.
There are three movie theatres in Chicago I can get into for free (as I work for a film organization). This directly affects how many times I see a certain movie. If it’s more mainstream, I REALLY have to love it to pay $9 again.
That said, I’ll probably see Dark Knight again (my roommate and I are planning on going to the IMAX theatre this time around) and Mamma Mia! too.
The last one I saw multiple times in the theatre was Juno. I still love it, despite all the backlash. I mean, come on–Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney in ONE movie? What’s not to love?
If I didn’t have to work the next day, I would’ve turned right around and bought a ticket to the next showing after I saw it the first time.
I’ll probably show up at the theatre again (for matinee prices!)
I saw Beetlejuice in the theatre 5 times. But, to be fair, I was 11.
I have already seen “The Dark Knight” for a second time. I saw a midnight show on Thursday and then went with some friends to see it again on Saturday night. I saw “Iron Man” twice earlier in the summer and both movies were just as good the second time… “The Dark Knight” was a little better.
I saw 27 dresses two or three times with various groups of people. I wouldn’t see Batman again though, too intense.
Yes, I would see “The Dark Knight” again.
And not only because it was very, very good, but because I couldn’t always understand what was happening. Part of that was the ambitious plot, and part of it was that I couldn’t always understand what Bale was saying when he was Batman. Who am I kidding? Mostly it was due to the fact that I’m not very smart.
Also, I remember seeing the new “Ocean’s Eleven” twice in one day with my college roomate. It was THAT cool.
It was good. But I don’t know if I would consider it a movie (to me, anyways) that is “shell out $15 more bucks for another ticket and food and then deal with talking tools and squeaking tweens in the theater” good.
I thought TDK was a great movie, but it’s not one I’d want to see again in theaters. Maybe when they show it on cable.
When I was younger and ET came out in theaters again, probably for it’s 20th anniversary, I saw that at least three times in the theater. I also accidentally ended up seeing Chicago at least three times, too (meaning I didn’t really want to see it three times but got roped into it somehow).
I probably would see the Dark Knight again, but most likely on IMAX. The movie that I saw the most in the theatre was LOTR: The Two Towers. My friend and I were obsessed with the Gollum/Smeagol scene where he is going back and forth. So, we tried to memorize it – and that took 6 times in the theatre to get it down pat. Good thing she worked there and we saw all 6 for free.

I’ve never seen a movie multiple times in the theatre. I did, however, go through a childhood phase of only eating at Ground Round, so I have eaten there multiple times in the same day. Thankfully, I quickly grew out of that phase.
I thought the Dark Knight was great, but it’s a really long movie and I don’t know that I would want to go see it again, at least not for another few weeks.
However, i DID see FOrgetting Sarah Marshall 5 times in theatres. I just really really liked it…
I would definitely see TDK again, and I’m already planning to do so, actually. The movie I saw most in the theater was The Fifth Element. I was mesmerized by it, really. And, it ended up being one of my first three DVD purchases ever (the other two being the Matrix and Half Baked), and therefore launched my absolutely out of control DVD collection…
i’d probably see it a second time. and a third. and a fourth. it was that good. i do want to try and catch it in imax. other than that, i don’t repeat a lot of movies. but movie musicals? yeah, i’ve a bit of a problem. hairspray – 6 times. chicago – 10. rent – 4. it’s bad news, but a $10 ticket (or a $5 ticket at the “$5 tuesdays” theater i was going to) was still much cheaper than the $60 theater ticket.
