Moviegoers of 1977: How Many Times...

3

i think about 10 but maybe it was more than 12 also. I think it stayed in the theater for a solid year!!

Twice. The first time I wasn't interested but a friend talked me into going. The second time was my choice. I haven't seen it since '77.

Once in the theater and once in the drive-in. Yes, those existed back then.

When we went to see it in the theater, the line stretched clear down the block and around the corner. It was a small theater and my friend's brother who took us said, "Not everybody is going to get in." When we came out he said, "That was such an open-ended ending, the villain got away and nobody got the girl, they're setting up for a sequel." My two friends and I hadn't thought of it and looked at him in awe. I am still best friends with the two I accompanied to the theater in 1977. As for the drive-in, I only remember going, I honestly don't remember who I was with.

I was very young and it was hard to sit still. Also even back then going to the movies wasn't that cheap. My parents had better things to do with their time and money. So I only saw it once for the original release.

I remember the line for it. Also we managed to get into the theater as it started because there were seats still available. The rest of the line had to wait for the next show. That was how popular it was in 77.

Once. Haven't seen it since.

Twice. Once with friends, then I talked my dad into seeing it with me. He cheered when the death star blew up. Such good times.
