Sure you are. You're claiming that purchasing a ticket for a movie entitles you to watch that movie as much as you want. Why? Why are you entitled to this? And if you are entitled to this, why aren't you entitled to watch a play as many times as you want just because you bought a ticket, and why aren't you entitled to drive a rental car as much as you wanted just because you paid for one-day's rental?

The principle is identical. You claim that the ticket you purchase entitles you to watch the movie as much as you want. If so, then you should be entitled to watch the play as much as you want, or drive the car as much as you want. Your claim is that a ticket which gives you right to watch a movie once, at a particular time and place in fact gives you the right to watch it as much as you want.
