How many a month?

Here's a question for my fellow ILFers. On average, how many films per month do you rent? purchase? see in the theaters?

I see about 2-5 in the theatre a week and lately I rent less because I'm up to my ass in late fees.

I see about 2/3 films a week in the theatre. When I have a video, I rent about 3/4 films a week.

any of the above exponentially many more times than I am laid, and I don't see as many movies as I should btw.

all told, I rarely rent, buy something like 3-5 a month, get sent anywhere from 4-8 screeners, and going to the theater really depends on what month we're talking about here.

Rent probably 30-40, purchase 1, see 2-4 in theater.

There's this awesome video place near me where you can rent 4 movies for 4 bucks, so I'm in there practically as much as the videos themselves, which equals to about 4 movies each week. How many of those rentals I really like determines how many I go out and blow all my money on. The quality of theatrical releases varies from month to month. Earlier in the year, I may see 1 a month. Lately I've been going more like 2-4 since the end of the year tends to bring better films.

i tend to see them in clusters - often i will go months without seeing any - then i will see about 2 a day for a month.

I don't own a TV set nor a VCR, so I don't rent videos. I do see films at friends' houses maybe twice a month, however. But mainly, it's the theaters for me. I used to go to cinema 4-7 times a month, but this year I've been piss-poor, so the average has gone down a lot. During film festivals the number obviously rises a lot. My record is 7 films during a single festival day, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I myself will never ever do it again.

hmmm. rent 7. buy 0. I probably go to the movies twice a year, but I'm trying to up that. Last year I used to rent 25+ movies a month probably but this year's been about music, yo.

As of this summer, I now live just five minutes walk from both Movie Image and Reel Video in Berkeley, two of the finest video stores I have ever seen. There are also five or six movie theatres within walking distance, including The Pacific Film Archive. Suffice to say, I could spend all week watching films if I didn't have to make money/conversation. I may never move house again.
