I'll be watching it again at the drive-in with the new Kingsman movie!

Before I get stared; please let me answer back one of your comments. 99% of my movie viewing habits is at the drive-in. Also it's about 99% of the time when I see something more than once; it takes place at the drive-in. It's very rare I'll see something at a indoor theatre, and at the drive-in. In saying that; I do list two examples below.

It's interesting to me you noticed I do often go to the drive-in. The Glendale Nine does in fact have nine screens. Most of the screens have double features, though sometimes a movie or two will come out which the drive-in will market as "Premier." Another words, it only plays by itself on one or two screens; that way it can get several showing in one evening. Then after a week or so; that film will play with another movie either as a first or second feature.

Sometimes a new movie will play not only featured by itself, but also as part of a double feature. (This also allows for more showings per evening) which make the distributors happy.

There are also many titles when first released; will go directly as a double feature (usually being the first of two movies.)

And lastly, there are some, but not many (and I only see this once or twice a year;) a new movie will come out and play as the second movie of a double billing. (That's when I know a movie will probably be pretty bad!)

So in order of relevance; (and I know I'm repeating myself here...)

  1. The "Premier" movies are expected by the distributors to make the most money, (therefore a title most people want to see) are regulated (for a week or two) to be played only by themselves on one or two screens.
  2. Movies marketed by the drive-in as a "Premier" (exhibited by itself) which also is shown as part of a double feature (on a different screen) is probably expected to be really good (therefore bring in pretty good revenue,) but it may not be as hot as a title that is regulated to be shown by itself.
  3. Movies when first released very often do show up as part of a double feature. This does not mean the movie is bad; it probably means the title is mostly typical and would not justify the "Premier" status.
  4. Then there's this...the humdinger! A movie when first released, plays as part of a double feature, and IS the 2nd feature! When I see that; it makes me want to laugh! I usually end up seeing titles like that, but only if I really want to see the movie that's featured with it.

Since I go to the drive-in at least once a week (and I've been doing that for years;) it does not matter what it is I'm seeing. My priority when choosing what movies to see, it to pick the double feature (two movies) which I have not seen yet. That means when I run out of options; I'll resort to seeing any animated movies playing together, and/or chick flicks/comedies that might be playing together. As a last resort; sometimes there's a feature I really would like to see, but it's playing with something I've already seen. In that case I have a choice. If there's a movie that's been playing there for a few week I've been really wanting to see, and it's already at it's 2nd feature status, I'll bite the bullet and watch it regardless of what's featured with it. Sometimes I get lucky though...

In some cases I do enjoy seeing a title more than once. During the summer blockbuster season; it's not unreal for me to see some of the biggest hits two and maybe three times, but of course it's either followed up, or played before anther title I want to see that I have not seen before.

In this past year alone, I I've been to a inside movie theatre I think about three times. The 70mm version of Dunkirk (2017) (which I've also seen at the drive-in,) and "It"(2017) (also seen at the drive-in.) Actually I can't remember a third movie I've seen this year at a indoor theatre. For me to go to an indoor theatre; it's got to be something special; like when Gene Wilder passed away and there was a live introduction by Mel Brooks talking about the movie before playing "Young Frankenstein" (1974.) That was really incredible. The only other example I can site is when a friend wants to see a movie playing at a theatre; I'll watch it there, but it's a toss up if I watch it at the drive-in for a 2nd viewing. It depends on the movie.

Anyway; seeing Keaton in "American Assassin" was a total surprise. I wasn't expecting that, and I think his return to the silver screen is refreshing. The last time I remember an actor who was really big at one time; then pretty much vanished and came back is John Travolta.

i went to the cinema once in 2017

Where do you see most of your movies? Home video? A different type of theatrical source?

@thebarnman i watch most stuff online

thought it was okay. But very mis-leading title for this film. Nothing about it is Assassin. "American Operative" had been more on the money. I hear Assassin, i think mafia gun-for-hire or independent killers non-affiliated with any Agency.
