There is rearely such as thing as "normal" when it comes to human behaviour/charateristics, you hopefully mean average?

Haven't been in at least three years, especially since the advent of broadband and cheap home cinema setups. I stopped going roughly when a seat started to cost more than four pounds, as I refuse to pay so much. Plus, DVDs are normally available on-line at the same time (or more often quite a bit before) the release.

At one time I was going down to Cineworld on a Friday morning nearly every week for an early session of some movie or other, but lately I haven't been to the Cinema for quite a while, nothing much on that interests me you see apart from maybe Ice Age 2 and that'll probably be out at the video shop soon, beggar paying £4 odd at Cineworld when I can get it in Choices in a couple of months for £3.75.

Have a cineworld card and time permitting, would like to go twice a week but in real world it's probably once a fortnight. More in school hols though.
Although I voted once a week as the spelling of fortnight pained me.

I used to go a lot when I was at college, but just dont seem to get around to it as much now.

I dont think there's a measurement of whats "normal" - if you enjoy going to the cinema and it makes you happy, go as often as you like

I go once a week (ish) if I have the money and there is something worth watching on, usually something scary.

i go at least once a week...occasionally more depending how many good films are out at the time!!

ive got a cineworld card too u see and find that they are brilliant and well worth the money if u use it often enough!! especially now the rate has gone up to £5.80 per visit (for cineworld anyway!!)...but i have found that in the last few months the cinema has been a busier place than when i first started going using the card!!

i get to see varied films as well cos im not thinking that im wasting as much money if i dont like it too much...ive ben using the card for over a year now and only had to walk out of 2 films because they were rubbish!!

seen horrors...comedy...romantic..subtitled films...the whole sha-bang really!!!

blimey i sound like an advertisement dont i?!!! hehe

Slimsid I dont think theres such a thing as *normal*. You forgot to tell us how often you go to the cinema.

Ive got the Cineworld card. I go either once a week and watch 1-2 movies or twice a week watch 2-4 movies just depends whats on and if we've caught up with the movies we want to watch.

Well....erm....5 times a week usually. But that's 'cos I work there.

On a serious note, before I began working at the cinema I used to be a holder of the Unlimited card and would go 2 or 3 times each week, trying to watch as much as i could. I still try to see as many films as I can on the big screen as nothing compares to it (unless you have a 20ft TV screen and 20 speakers surround kit).

I'm really not a big cinema goer at all... The last two times I can remember going were 3 weeks ago and then back in October! lol!
I'm not too bothered about keeping up with the latest films... loads of films appeal to me and that but I probably wouldnt go out especially to see one.

I try to go once a fortnight. Going to the flicks is my biggest hobby, very relaxing and could spend my life there. Just odd person ruins it sometimes.

Back in my single days it used to be 5 times a week
