1,000 would average over 30 screenings a day and there wouldn't be that many hours in a day= not possible unless viewed on multiple screens ( LOL! )
3-5 screenings a day is the typical dosage of the afflicted, they got that right
After a few months of getting a "screen tan", you will be on nodding acquaintances with other cinemaniacs on the same circuit, and 1st name terms with most projectionists and/or cinema managers
You will be asked politely at the DeLuxe if you could possibly take the reels down to the Berkeley for their next screening (?)
and you will see a LOT of films
Did this during the early 1980's when recuperating from an industrial accident, insurance was footing the bill, I was told to take it easy + with nothing else to do: "Heaven"
