Must present perfect tense be used if the action takes place more than once?

I was told that if an action is completed once in the past, the simple past is used.
Ex: I saw that movie.



If the action is completed more than once, the present perfect tense must be used.
Ex: I have seen that movie twelve times.



So, "I have seen that movie twelve times on Tuesday." is correct and "I saw that movie twelve times on Tuesday." is incorrect?
