How many times will you see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the theater?

Obviously, this is for people who have seen it in the theater. No reason to have a "None" option since it was an option in the Reviews thread.

I was curious since I have seen many people posting that they have seen it more than once. Feel free to estimate future theatrical viewings along with the current number. I have seen it 3 times and will probably see it twice more.

I've already seen it three times, and am going to try and see it tomorrow, so I said six.

I have a friend who has already seen it like eight times.

No vote for zero? I mean, fair logic and all, but I can't go in the review thread since it's a spoiler zone. Hope people liked the movie.

Once in 2D and once in 3D.

I could probably endure a third showing of it, but I wouldn't choose to do that willingly. I'll probably watch it on Blu-ray again before the next movie is released.

I think I'd like to see it a second time. We have a true IMAX theater in town and it looks like it'll be around for at least three more weeks so I might take a shot at that.
I saw it in 2-D the first time since our 3-D LieMAX version was pretty much sold out in advance on Tuesday afternoon.

You could use the "How long can you wait" thread.

Just once. I liked the movie but don't see a need to revisit it until it's released on Blu-Ray.

There are no spoilers on the first page of the review thread so should be safe to vote there.

Seen it 2 times and really enjoyed it. Debating on a 3rd time or just wait a few months for the Bluray.

I've seen it twice already (once 3D and once 2D), and I think I will see it twice more, with one of those being IMAX 3D.

I've seen it four times already, once in 2-D, once in 3-D, twice in IMAX 3-D.

I have a feeling a fifth time might be over the horizon.

Once was enough, i'm not a big enough fan to see it multiple times. I'll buy it on Blu-ray though.

Interesting to see that several repeat viewings are in different formats. I've noticed that 3D showings seem to be more common than 2D locally, so I'm sure the theaters are happy that people are regularly coming back for the more expensive experience!

Maybe if movie tickets were much, much cheaper. But given it still cost $19 for the two of us to see a matinee, I can wait till I buy the BD to see it again.

Given that you're shocked by $9.50 each, what qualifies as "much, much"? $4 a ticket? Maybe you can go to a second-run theater.

Re: How many times will you see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the theater?

Just got back from seeing it a third time, but that will definitely be my last before it hits blu-ray.

I know a lot of folks have time off for new year's, but this is the first time I've attended a sold out matinee for a flick going into it's third weekend. Arrived at the theater forty minutes early and the best seat I could find was the top row on the far left. Guess I should have skipped breakfast and showed up at 8AM if I wanted to claim a better spot. What a crock of shit.

I went once with my spouse, once with a good friend, once on my own, and I can see myself going at least one more time, so I voted "four." If a fifth opportunity rolls around, I doubt I'd say "no," though...

Seen it 3 times (the 2nd and 3rd in consecutive days) with a 4th scheduled for Saturday morning. I voted 5 since I plan on seeing it in a Dolby Atmos theater by myself on Sunday hopefully.

But then again, when MLK day comes around, might as well just go see it again. Everytime I watch it, I come out of it thinking, "I can't wait to see it again."

Just caught it for the 5th time. This time in "Imax" 3D, mostly because I got off work early today and that was the closest show time. Outside of some wide shots with ash floating around at the beginning and the Star Destroyer nose, not really worth it. But, as with all my previous viewings, just as enjoyable.

Can't imagine seeing this more than once in the theater. It was fun, but 3/5 on a kind day.

Seen it twice in 2D. Once on a smaller screen with some friends and the other time in one of the big houses with my family. If I see it for a 3rd time it will be because somebody drags me to see it.

1.

I saw Mad Max 5 times. Will most likely see Hateful Eight again.

The poll is missing a choice many of us have made: Zero.

Once. I'll likely watch it again on blu-ray or off iTunes or whatever shortly before seeing VIII, but probably not until then. Definitely not in the theater.
