Here's a bit of trivia for those who are Elvis Presley and trivia fans.

Four days before his death in August 1977, Presley and his Memphis entourage went to a movie theater to catch the latest James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me.

According to the U.K.'s The Express:

When Elvis Presley wasn’t shooting movies or touring, the star would enjoy his own playground at home at Graceland. Being a night owl, The King and his inner circle would head out into Memphis after dark to avoid fans, renting out huge venues in the early hours of the morning, including movie theatres. The star’s step-brother, Billy Stanley, has previously shared precious memories of Elvis’ final visit to the cinema with Lisa Marie and Ginger Alden, just four days before he died.

On August 12, 1977, Elvis planned to get a copy of the new sci-fi hit Star Wars to watch with his nine-year-old daughter. Unable to obtain one, the King asked his Memphis Mafia to track down the new James Bond movie for him. He then drove Lisa Marie and his last girlfriend, Ginger, to the Southbrook Theatre, just south of Graceland, to see Roger Moore’s third 007 movie, The Spy Who Loved Me. His stepbrother Billy, the son of Vernon Presley’s second wife, Dee Stanley, was in attendance as part of his inner circle and shared memories of seeing movies with the star there.
