How many times did you see each film in the theater?
- Thread starter Phantassm
- Start date
I saw all of the movies the weekend they opened. I suspect I saw some of the early ones more than once, but I can't recall the details. I know I saw the new one once at our local multiplex (on opening day) and later at an Imax theater in Philly.
I have particularly fond memories of seeing the third movie at a special showing hosted by James Doohan. And, come to think of it, I first saw GENERATIONS at a sneak preview my Star Trek editor managed to get me into . . . .

I saw all of them on original release only one time. The only notable audience-related aspect of any of them was when I saw V - me and my friend were the only ones in the theater and that probably did help color my reaction to it since every other entry I saw was if not packed, then reasonably full.
I - V: None
VI - XI: One time a piece

The Motion Picture - 1

The Undiscovered Country - 3
Generations - 3
First Contact - 3
Insurrection - 3
Nemesis - 1 (I bought a ticket for 'Maid in Manhatten' and snuck in to see it - my personal protest)
ST09 - 3
The Wrath of Khan - 2

How many time watching movie in theater is depends on the movie. But I like to watch every movie in one hours only. I like to watch movie with my family and relatives only.
48 times for TMP - very impressive, number6 
TMP - 0 - too young for original run, and never managed to see it in a theatre since, sadly
TWOK - 1 - first movie I ever saw...interestingly at the same theatre I saw William Shatner performing at this week
TSFS - 1 -at a drive-in, do they have them any more?
TVH - 1
TFF - 2
TUC - 2 - In the USA, the same day I met James Doohan
GEN - 1
FC - At least 4, my non-Trekker friends loved it, so I got to see it over and over
INS - 1 - I was seriously ashamed to be seen walking out of that movie
NEM -1 - I went by myself, and so did the other three people there
ST 09 - 2 - once in IMAX.

All of my second viewings of II-V took place at a marathon where the slogan was "Sit Long and Prosper".
I don't think I've seen too many movies more than once in the theatre, especially in the time period STII-V came out. My friends and I seemed to go to the movies once a week, more often during the summer. There was always something new out and it was a social thing with at least 10 of us hitting the theatre most nights. Once we got a pretty big group together than must have filled an entire row of seats in the theatre. Not sure which movie, but I'm certain it wasn't a Trek film.

Pretty simple theater-wise:
STTMP: 0- I did see it in a film showing on a screen at a campground with a projector about a yr after it came out. Most of the large crowd left before it ended...
STII: 0 Saw it shown in a class at middle school for the first time. Again on a screen with a projector. Was not a "trekker" yet at this point.
STIII: 1. Loved the movie and became a true Trekker around this time.
STIV: 2 times. Most fun I had at a movie. Best experience along with ST09.
STV: 1 Went with 2 other people..one was a big Star Wars fan...I didn't hear the end of it for days. Embarrassing film.
STVI: 2
STGEN: 2
STFC: 2
STINS: 1
STNEM: 1
ST09: 4- Worth every penny
RAMA

I can pretty much track my life by where I saw each new film.
TMP: Everett, WA. Me and about twenty college friends had to drive two hours to see the movie since it didn't open anywhere closer. Road trip!
WOK: Bellingham, WA (which had finally gotten a multiplex in the interim). Saw the movie with Carolyn Cushman, who later became a fantasy book reviewer for LOCUS.
TSFS: Sea-Tac, WA, not far from the airport where I was bussing tables for a living. A friend and I took a limo to meet James Doohan at a special sold-out screening at the Lewis & Clark Theater.
TVH: Downtown Seattle, a few blocks away from the plasma center where I was working as a phlebotomist. Stood in the rain for an hour to buy tickets for me and all my friends.
TFF: Uptown Manhattan with John Ordover, my future STAR TREK editor.
TUC: Manhattan. Dragged my girlfriend to it for my birthday.
GEN: Manhattan. Caught a sneak preview with Ordover and some other Trek types.
FC: Times Square. Dragged my girlfriend again.
INS: A Saturday matinee in the East Village. Kind of a let-down. Couldn't find anyone to go with that weekend. (The girlfriend was busy.)
NEM: Painter's Crossing, PA. Another poorly-attended matinee.
ST09: Newark, DE. Much more fun. A group trip with some Trekkie neighbors. A good time was had by all. (I later took the train into Philly to see the movie in IMAX.)

I don't like going to Trek movies with other people the first time. I don't want people jabbering or being sarcastic. I could have seen ST:XI with a group of people but I just KNEW they would nitpick it to death so I went by myself.
I saw all the TNG movies and ST09 once at the cinema. I was too young for TOS movies.
