The average American makes five visits per year to movie theaters, but it is impossible to know an average with rentals, tv, ownership of movies, how many repeated viewings, etc.
Eight movies is average for an American to see in a year. Many factors can affect the number, which has been higher in the past. Factors may include the cost of the ticket and the financial status of the person going to see the movie. In bad economic times people tend to stay at home or rent movies instead.
