Cinema Goers - How Often Do You Go?

[TwentyKittens]

I'm interested in levels of actual cinema going rather than anyone who mostly streams.

I'd say I usually go at least once a week, maybe twice, unless I've exhausted all the movies I want to see, and then have to have a week or two of drought before the next lot start.

This week is a major anomoly as I'm there five nights! I don't even watch the vast majority of blockbusters/Hollywood stuff.

Next week it's film club in a cinema further away, where once a month we gather to watch a foreign language film.

There a Japanese season coming soon so I'll probably book for a couple of those.

In a fortnight there's a 25 Anniversary screening of Chocolat, and later a 100 Anniversary screening of Phantom of the Opera!

DS is a keen cinema goer and has BFI membership. We live near enough for him to go regularly. He goes to our local cinemas too. When not taking exams average of once a week, sometimes more. He was on a BFI youth panel about the future of cinema going and what it means to younger viewers.

On average about 3-4 x month - dozens of cinemas to choose from in London with a huge array of films. I like a documentary as well and really enjoyed the recent Led Zeppelin doc on at the Picturehouse. I like going to the Everyman cinemas too - cool music and they do one of my favourite wines in the bar. I go alone quite often and tend to go more often in the winter when it’s dark and cold.

I have a Cineworld unlimited membership, do go to pretty much every film I can.

It is £17.99 a month (less than Netflix) and works out cheaper than two tickets a month.

It allows you to see a lot of films that are good, but you wouldn't necessarily have bought a ticket for.

For us, it's also quite a good value day out with everything else going up. We'd be looking at well over £100 for dinner out with DH and DS. We can see two films for a fraction of that even with drinks/popcorn (which are discounted for members).
