Amph How often do you see movies in the theatre (and which ones have you seen this year)?

1917, Uncut Gems, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

 

Before the order to "shelter in place" occurred, my wife and I were planning to see The Invisible Man, followed up by Mulan. I had tickets to see Mulan tomorrow, so that's a bummer to think about. IIRC, New Mutants would have been next up after Mulan.

 

I had opening day tickets for Mulan and No Time to Die.

 

I'm still in for Dune this October if it gets anything approaching decent reviews.

 

Godzilla vs Kong was the only movie i saw this year

Since theaters started reopening, I've watched everything that got a wide release and the majority of limited releases. I was especially happy to get a chance to watch The Battle at Lake Changjin in a theater as it is the #1 box-office hit worldwide so far this year and likely to stay that way unless SMNWH can overtake it (the industry will count it as a 2021 release even if it makes much of its total in 2022)

 

I wasn't get vaccinated 'til April, and even after that I waited a couple more months before returning to the theater, so I didn't actually start going to the theater again until July of this year.

Thus far, on the big screen, I've seen the following:

Black Widow
Pig
The Green Knight
The Suicide Squad
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
The Many Saints of Newark
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Lamb
Dune
The Last Duel
Last Night in Soho
Antlers
Eternals
Spencer
The French Dispatch
House of Gucci

16 total so far.

Usually, in a normal, non-pandemic year, I probably average somewhere between 20-30 trips to the theater. I aim to see The Tragedy of Macbeth (if it releases locally), Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley, The Matrix: Resurrections, and Spider-Man: No Way Home theatrically before the year is over, so I guess that should put me just at/over 20 this year as well.

My at home list for the year includes the following:

Judas and the Black Messiah
Space Sweepers
Willy's Wonderland
Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time
Godzilla vs Kong
No Sudden Move
Fear Street 1994
Fear Street 1978
Fear Street 1666
Demonic
Mad God
Malignant
Halloween Kills

13 total so far (will be 14 this week, when I get a chance to sit down and watch The Power of the Dog).

 

The last film I saw in a theater was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The last Star Wars film I saw in a theater was Revenge of the Sith. I doubt I'll ever go to a movie theater again.

 

This year so far, only Black Widow. But I will see Spider-Man: No Way Home in a couple weeks.

2020, didn’t see any.

2019: Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Star Wars Rise of Skywalker.

 

2021
A Quiet Place 2
Godzilla vs. Kong
Halloween Kills.

 

My 2020 theater viewings were obviously cut very short for me for obvious reasons. Last year the only movies I actually saw in the theater were Underwater, Little Women (2019), The Thing (1982), and 1917 (2019). Of those, only Underwater was even a 2020 release.

Last September, long before I ever had any intention of returning to an actual theater due to COVID, I did go to a drive-in to catch a double feature of Tenet and 42 (2013) from the safety of my car, however.

 

Starting in March 2020 my weekly visits went down significantly but still went, it was New Mutants, and The Empire Strikes Back. Saw Tenet at the drive-in.

Early June theatres were still closed so I saw Quiet Place II at the drive in (fun fact, Jim from the Office came up on screen and said how great it is to be in the theatre, I'm in a car buddy) Starting in July (right when my two weeks vaxed kicked in) I got in 1 theatrical movie a month. July: Black Widow {which was technically my 3rd viewing, watched it at 3AM when it dropped on D+Premiere access a few weeks earlier but I'll be damned if it was the only MCU movie I didn't see in theatres} & August: The Suicide Squad, Sept: Shang-Chi. and then upped it to twice a month, maybe 3 for Oct, Nov. (Venom: Let there be Carnage, No Time to Die, Dune, Eternals, Ghostbusters: Afterlife). Two more stops to go in December, No Way Home & Matrix Resurrections. Rest waiting for VOD, which takes only a month and a half now max.

 

Ghostbusters: Afterlife

First trip back to the theater for me in almost two years and it was a wonderful experience. We even saw it in IMAX which was neat. The sound mix is brilliant.

 

2021:

The Green Knight
The Suicide Squad
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
No Time to Die
Dune
Last Night in Soho
Eternals
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Licorice Pizza
West Side Story
Nightmare Alley
Spider-Man: No Way Home

 

So far this year West Side Story and Spider Man. They were both good. I liked WSS more.

 

2021

A Quiet Place 2
No Time to Die
Shang Chi

Pretty sure that's it. Covid and all

 

2021

Dune
Spiderman: Every Which Way But Home


2022
