    6 times is impressive-do you choose cheaper cinemas later?

    I saw it 4 times-twice before Xmas and then on the 27th and 30th Dec. when I took 2 different Great nephews along.
    I've probably contributed about £53 to the £100 Million in Britain (and 1 Billion dollars worldwide-China still to see it.)

    (In pre-video days I must've seen Goldfinger about 30 times in the cinema and then even more on TV later.)

    Casino Royale I saw 5 times (3 lots of friends) and Quantum Of Solace only twice.(it finished sooner.)
    Skyfall is still on at the moment.(10th Jan.) The CR and QOS DVDs came out end of March, whereas Skyfall DVD is mid-Feb.

    I try and pick times/days where cinema tickets are cheaper....especially after the first three or so viewings...

    Although six is pretty poor for me....I saw CR at least 12 times at the cinema...and QoS at least 9 times... -{

    I've seen it twice at the cinema. Opening night with my wife and then I went last week by myself one last time before its run ended. It was a 10pm showing on a Wednesday night, and there were still about 20 people in the theater. That's pretty encouraging. Shows the legs this movie really has. Now, I'll wait for the Blu-ray.

    I've only seen it once in all - waiting for the DVD release in Feb to get a review of all the Craig films posted!

    I just caught it before it finishes, so that's 5 times for Skyfall.
    They're running it right up to when the DVD comes out mid-Feb.
    Sainsburys supermarket has a pre-order display which has a tall cardboard surround with photos of DC and Javier Bardem
    on opposite sides. If one asked for the cardboard-I don't know where I'd put it-too bulky.

    Oh wow, I'd love one of those! Sadly I don't live in the U.K. - and'll have to wait and see what MGM / Sony have in mind for us :#

    Seven times, twice in a cheaper theater. Prices are sky-high here in the States! 8-)

    How are theater prices in the UK? And how about concessions?
    I find myself sneaking in my own concessions from time to time to save some money.

    Three times. First week of release in Digital IMAX (600 seats / 70 ft wide screen).
    2nd time 220 seat theater, Sony 4K Digital
    3rd time (one week ago) 100 seats, Sony 4K Digital

    Each time I saw Skyfall the theater was sold out. The IMAX viewing was great, the impact of the huge screen, 70mm-like picture quality and incredible sound (along with a great audience) made the experience extra special....more mindful of when
    I saw the Connery films back in the 60's in big movie palaces.

    Second time was good, but there were a few too many rude and annoying people in the audience which was distracting.

    Third time in the small cinema (but excellent sound and projection) was actually very enjoyable...nice audience, was able to sit back and savor seeing it on a real movie screen for the last time.

    Next showing will be on my 46" Sony -{

    I find myself sneaking in my own concessions from time to time to save some money.

    Full price tickets are about £8-9.25 (about $13-15). Maybe if you went in the afternoon or had a discount card it'd be cheaper.

    Just looked at the local Showcase times and Skyfall is still on at least to Thursday 14th Feb. but one showing in the evening.
    You never know when it will end -but must be soon, as the DVD comes out on the 18th.
    This is the 15th week I think it's been showing in the UK since Oct. 26th, and last worldwide gross was £1079M.

    I may STILL watch it in the cinemas because it's still in some theaters (including San Francisco's IMAX Metreon theater) even after being released on DVD/Blu-Ray! :))

    As it's running in the cinema-even though the DVD is on sale in the UK- I went and saw it for a 6th time! just to remind myself of the details, and to enjoy the BIG SCREEN effect. Sat in the 3rd row from front.
