McDonalds is going to see a lot of me this month.

Trailers have started and so far I have a solo screening of The Odyssey. No other tickets sold.

I’m retired and live two miles from my Regal, so two or three a day is pretty common, I see every unlimited-eligible movie that comes to my theater once.

I did six a few months ago, and thought it was a one and done.

Sunday I went to an early morning open caption screening of Robin Hood because I had missed a lot of the early dialogue due to a noisy theater and I think just the way the film is mixed. But at the kiosk that morning, looking at the showings for the day, I saw that eight was possible. Why not?

Now, I said sorta in the title because I did leave a few times to run errands or get real meals. But I saw several of the movies in full and at least big chunks of all the others. And one had to be a repeat due to the way the screenings were timed. So I’ll concede that it’s not truly an octuple. But now that I know it’s possible, I might try a real one someday.

EDIT TO ADD: In response to being called a liar and getting spreadsheeted in the comments below, what the heck is their problem? Despite their math showing me missing 20 minutes of a couple films, I definitely watched to the credits and saw the regal coaster of those specific films. Don’t know what to say expect maybe ads/trailers aren’t always exactly 25 minutes. I would expect we all know this, mine range from 0 to 45 or more.

And besides, I openly admitted to taking meal breaks during the films, and it therefore not being a true octopule. But hey, I could use a good editor so maybe they’ll put that much work into all my writing.
